Which statement correctly describes a feature of carrying capacity? A. can only change if the population experiences migration B
. can only be calculated for species with a uniform population distribution C. can only be attained by organisms that follow the type I survivorship pattern D. is a constant for all populations of the same species E. may change as environmental conditions change
With environmental changes, the carrying capacity can either increase or decrease. It is important to note that the carrying capacity is the number of individuals of a species that a habitat can sustain indefinitely. With favorable environmental conditions, the carrying capacity increases while unfavorable environmental conditions decrease the carrying capacity.
A change in the DNA sequence of a gene leads to a change in the nucleotide sequence in the messenger RNA, which can lead to a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein.
