Introduction:
Growth curve represents the population growth with each period of time. Growth curve can be demonstrated by two types of growth curve: J shaped growth curves and sigmoid growth curve. The J shaped growth curves represent the unrestricted or exponential population growth while sigmoid growth curve represents the slow or restricted growth of population.
Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
Density-independent environmental resistance includes floods. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
Option (b) is given as “floods”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reason for the correct statement:
Density-independent factors are those factors that affect
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “predation”.
Predation is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as “differentiated cell”.
Option (d) is given as “competition”.
Competition is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.
The factor floods are density independent environmental resistance.

Brown-headed cowbirds lay eggs in the nests of other grassland birds, thereby forcing the other species to hatch the eggs and raise the young.The type of symbiotic relationship between the cowbirds and the other species of birds is a. parasitism b. commensalism c. mutualism d. predation Please explain in details why you selected that method.arrow_forward1.) Humans benefit from the presence of certain vitamin Kproducing bacteria that live in the large intestin The bacteria get food and shelter in return . This relationship is an example of A.)parasitism B.) predation C.) commensalism D.( mutualism 2.) A predator-prey relationship exists between the Canada lynx and the snowshoe hare. Lynx that are more successful hunters, are more likely to survive and reproduce, and thus pass on their traits to the next generation. Snowshoe hares that are faster or better at hiding are also more likely to pass on their successful traits From the above information , one can conclude that predator -prey interactions influence the process of A.) inbreeding B.) natural selection C.) artificial selection D.) parasitism 3.)
