Sort the examples and descriptions into two categories: density-dependent limiting factors and density-independent limiting factors. Competition is an example. Parasitism and disease are examples.
Environmental extremes, such as a hurricane or drought, are examples. Their effects increase as the population increases in an area.
They generally affect both small, scattered populations and large, dense populations.

Density-Independent Limiting Factors

In eukaryotes, genetic information is passed to the next generation by processes that include mitosis or meiosis. which of the explanations identifies the correct process and supports the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another? a. mitosis, followed by cytokinesis, produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, thus insuring variation within the population. b. during mitosis, dna replication occurs twice within the cell cycle to insure a full set of chromosomes within each of the daughter cells produced. c. in asexual reproduction, a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of its genes to its offspring without the fusion of gametes. d. single-celled organisms can fuse their cells, reproducing asexually through mitosis to form new cells that are not identical to the parent cell.

Several bird species feed in a certain species of tree. each bird species feeds in a different part of the tree. which statement is true of these bird species? a. they have adapted to different niches due to competition b. they have a carnivorous relationship with the tree species. c. they have adapted to different niches due to predation d. they have a symbiotic relationship with the tree species.

Which phase of the cell cycle ensures that identical copies of the dna are made for daughter cells?
