The population of field mice in an ecosystem near naples, florida has remained steady for many years. what is the most likely reason that the population has not increased or decreased?

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.
