Chapter 37.3, Problem 5MC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The differences between the density dependent and density independent factors limiting the size of population with three examples of each.
Concept introduction:
The population can be defined as the group of organisms belonging to same species which are capable of mating with each other and occupy a common region at a particular time. There are several factors which affect the size of population.
