Question
if a population has more biotic potential than environmental resistance, what will happen to the population? the population stablizes. the population fluctuates. the population increases. the population decreases.
Biotic potential refers to a population's ability to grow under ideal conditions (e.g., ample resources, no limiting factors), while environmental resistance includes factors (like limited food, space, predators) that restrict population growth. When biotic potential > environmental resistance, the population has more capacity to grow than the environment can restrict, so the population size will increase.
