The intrinsic growth rate of a population:

• directly affects environmental resistance.
• causes changes in birth rates without affecting death rates
• causes changes in death rates without affecting birth rates.
• is the maximum rate at which a population may increase.

Population size can be estimated using the formula

• (CBR + Immigration) + (CDR + Emigration)
• (CBR + Immigration) - (CDR + Emigration)
• (CBR - Immigration) + (CDR - Emigration)
• (CBR - Immigration) - (CDR - Emigration)
