4.1 Populations

If you have a lot of offspring but do not provide parental care you are described as...

• K- selected
• r- selected
• Q- selected
• w- Selected

The carrying capacity of an environment for a particular species at a particular time is determined by the

• number of individuals in the species.
• distribution of the population.
• reproductive potential of the species.
• supply of the most limited resources
