<span>That statement is true
Abiotic factors (such as weather and environment) will determine which organism will be superior compared to another.
For example, Lion will be placed as the highest in the food chain if they're in Savanna environment. But, if we place that lion in the middle of the ocean, the lion will not has the superiority that it has on land.</span><span />
(Initial individuals + newborn individuals) - dead individuals = total individuals
Growth rate = (total individuals/initial individuals) * 100
Population growth rate = new percentage minus 100%
Calculations
(1000 + 500) - 200 = 1500 - 200 = 1300
Growth rate = (1300/ 1000) * 100
= 1.3 * 100
= 130%
Population growth rate = 130% - 100%
= 30% per year if it is uniform
