Biotic potential is defined as the unrestricted growth of a population resulting in the maximum growth of that population. Which of the following populations is the most likely to be able to reach its biotic potential? O Apredator species is introduced into an area that has a large prey population and no other predators. An insect population reproduces multiple times a year and produces a large number of offspring. O Bacteria are grown in a continuous culture with nutrients added and wastes removed at a steady rate. O An invasive species enters an ecosystem where there is little to no competition for food and space.

39. Mites are common pests on individual fence lizards. Mites are observed to bite fence lizards to draw a blood meal, which increases mite population growth rates. Fence lizards respond by scratching their heads to remove mites. The population growth rate of fence lizards is not impacted by this interaction although it appears to be negative for the fence lizards that have mites. What is the best explanation to account for the population growth pattern in fence lizards. a. the interaction is a +, - interaction b. the interaction is at the organism level c. the interaction is a altruism d. the interaction is at the population level e. the interaction is a mutualism

It allows a population to grow at its biotic potential: D.) It determines the carrying capacity of the habitat concerned . 2.) Identify the statement about per capita growth rate that is not correct. A.) It does not depend on the period for which the population is under consideration. B.) It is used to compare populations of the same species but of different sizes. C.) It is independent of the initial size of population under study. D.) The change in population size can be expressed as the rate of change per individual in terms capita growth rate. 3.)
