Answer:

The Correct answer is C: The effect of most density-independent factors on population growth is not related to population density.

Explanation:

In nature, the population size and growth are limited by many factors. Some of these factors depend on the population density, while some others are density-independent.

Limiting density-dependent factors provoke a change in the population growth rate per capita, as the density increases.  In general, this change is a decrease in the growth rate. An example of these density-dependent factors might be competition or limited food availability.

The density-independent factors also affect the growth rate in a population, but they do not depend on its density. Some examples of these are natural disasters, or environmental conditions, among others.  

So,

a) False: the effect of most density-independent factors do not depend on the population density.

b) False: the effect of most density-independent factors do not depend on the population density.

c) TRUE: The effect of density-independent factors are not related to population density

d) False: The effect of most density-dependent factors ARE related to population density

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The new trait appears in a group of previously isolated people is an

example of genetic drift.

<h3>What is Genetic drift?</h3>

This is defined as the random fluctuations in the frequencies of alleles

from generation to generation due to occurring events which makes the

trait to be present or disappear.

The new trait appearing as a result of events such as migration helps to

infer that it is genetic drift.

When diarrhea occurs in the pediatric patient, the nurse will advise the parents to seek emergency medical treatment for the pat
pochemuha
They would have Severe Abdominal pain.  These are the symptoms leading to that occur.<span>If diarrhea is accompanied by fever, malaise, or abdominal pain, contact the prescriber immediately because of the possibility of excessive fluid and electrolyte loss. Dehydration and electrolyte loss occur very rapidly in the pediatric patient because of the patient's size and sensitivity to loss of fluid volume and electrolytes through the stool. Immediately report to the prescriber any abdominal distention, firm abdomen, painful abdomen, or worsening of or lack of improvement in diarrhea 24 to 48 hours after medication administration. If symptoms persist or dehydration occurs (e.g., no tears and decreased urine output in the child), contact the prescriber. If the patient is sluggish, lethargic, or confused or the diarrhea is bloody, contact the prescriber immediately or go to the closest emergency facility. hope that helped</span>
