Maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called _______ species

Biology
1 answer:
marishachu [46]2 years ago
3 0

Animal species that exhibit long gestation periods, give birth to relatively large offspring, and maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called K-selected species.

In nature, a given habitat contains sufficient resources such as food, water, etc. to support a maximum possible number of biological species, beyond which no further growth is possible. It is termed as nature's carrying capacity for that species in the habitat.

MacArthur and Wilson proposed that there are two life-history strategies i.e. K-selected and r-selected. K-selected species exhibit a proportionately stable population that gives rise to a low number of offspring which tend to be very large. For example the African elephant is included among K-selected species.

Hypothesize on why you think larger populations would tend to have more variation in phenotypes than smaller populations
abruzzese [7]

Phenotype = Observable/Physical characteristics.


Simple because there would be a larger gene pool, more opportunity for variation than a small population which has less of a gene pool and therefore less opportunity for variation.

The scientific method uses observation and which other process to answer questions?
katovenus [111]
We could say that there are five steps in scientific method: observation, hypothesis, prediction, experiment and conclusion. Observation is the first step and we could also call it research. In this step we must understand the problem in the right way. The hypothesis is the possible answer, based on the research. Prediction is even more specific than the hypothesis: on this stage, you must know how will you demonstrate that your hypothesis is true. Experiment tests your hypothesis and shows whether your hypothesis was true or false. After that you can proceed to making conclusion, which summarizes the experiment's results, and tells do the results match up to hypothesis and in which way.
