Question

A small population of white-footed mice has the same intrinsic rate of increase (r) as a large population. If everything else is equal, A. the large population will add more individuals per unit time. B. the small population will add more individuals per unit time. C. the two populations will add equal numbers of individuals per unit time. D. the growth trajectories of the two populations will proceed in opposite directions.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by biologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the small population will add more individuals per unit time. Intrinsic rate of increase is defined as the the number of births minus the number of deaths per generation time. Since the small population has the same intrinsic rate of increase as the large population then at a certain point the small population will surpass the larger population and continue to do so.
