Question

what is the relationship between populations and communities in terms of biological organization?
a population can develop into a community.
a community is made of many populations.
not all communities include populations.
a population is made of many communities.

Explanation:

To determine the relationship between populations and communities in biological organization:

• Recall the definitions: A population is a group of individuals of the same species in a given area. A community is all the populations (of different species) that interact in a particular area.
• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: A population does not develop into a community (a community has multiple species' populations, a population is single - species). Eliminate.
• Option 2: A community is indeed made up of many populations (different species' populations interacting). This matches the definition.
• Option 3: All communities are composed of populations (since a community is the collection of populations in an area). Eliminate.
• Option 4: A population is a single - species group, not made of communities. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. A community is made of many populations.
