Expert Solution
Step 1

The carrying capacity is denoted by the letter 'K' in K-selected populations. A K-selected population's offspring will grow up in a competitive environment where the population is at or near its carrying capacity. The population below its carrying capacity will grow, while the population over it will decline.
