Which of the following is one of the main properties used to describe a population?

• number of individuals

• color of individuals

• number of species

• kind of adaptations

For a population’s growth rate to be zero

• more deaths than births must occur

• more births than deaths must occur

• no births can occur

• the average number of births and deaths must be the same

Exponential growth occurs when a population

• exceeds the habitat’s carrying capacity

• is competing with another species

• grows increasingly faster

• breeds with another species.

Identify Stable / Zero Population growth
