Question

multiple choice 1 point critics of this story will argue that one of the factors that contributed to the population crash of the deer was a severe winter that created snow too deep for many of the reindeer to dig through for food. this would be an example of what kind of growth limiting factor? density independent density dependent clear my selection clear my selection

Explanation:

Density - dependent factors are related to population density. In a severe winter, as deer population density is high, more deer need to dig through snow for food, which becomes a limiting factor. Density - independent factors are not related to population density like natural disasters not influenced by population numbers. Here, the need to dig for food due to population size in winter is density - dependent.

Answer:

Density dependent
