Question

as discussed in class, please select the 4 characteristics of a population. dispersion patterns exponential growth size overshoot density carrying capacity age distribution

Explanation:

Population characteristics include size (total number of individuals), density (number per unit area/volume), dispersion patterns (how individuals are spaced), and age distribution (proportion of different age groups). Exponential growth, overshoot, and carrying capacity relate to population growth/dynamics rather than being direct characteristics of a population's state.

Answer:

A. dispersion patterns, C. size, E. density, G. age distribution
