The correct answer is true.

The density dependent factors are those factors, which is affect the size of the population.

The logistic growth curve shows a a lag phase, a log phase and a stationary phase. In the lag phase, the growth of the organism is minimal, here it prepare for the growth, in log phase, the population growth is exponential. As the resources in a particular area is limited and carrying capacity is also limited, after a certain population density, the growth become stationary, which means mortality becomes equal to the birth rate. As the logistic curve is affected by the density of the population, it would be density dependent.

P.S.- if the resources are not limited, the population continuous to grow exponentially, and would represent exponential growth curve.

Answer;

-Gametic Isolation

Explanation;

-Gametic isolation is a type of prezygotic barrier where the gametes (egg and sperm) come into contact, but no fertilization takes place.

-In Gametic isolation is when sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize the eggs of another species. For instance, sperm may not be able to survive in the reproductive tract of females of the other species, or biochemical mechanisms may prevent the sperm from penetrating the membrane surrounding the other species' eggs.

Match these terms with their descriptions

Pani-rosa [81]

1. water temperature of lakes and rivers rise - nuclear power plant. Water is used as a coolant to maintain the temperature of nuclear reactors. and the resulting water is warmed up.

2.carbon monoxide pollutes air - internal combustion engine. Internal combustion engines release fumes of carbon monoxide.

3. fly ash of soot in air - coal-burning power plant. Coal burning plants release ash produced in small dark flecks.

4. soil contamination of water resources - DDT spraying in agriculture. DDT washes off agricultural land into water resources.

5. sewage contamination of water resources -population density. Urban areas produce a low of sewage, which is usually treated before being disposed of in rivers or the sea.

6. excess plant growth in the lakes or rivers - phosphate detergents. In many rivers, algal growth is limited by phosphate. Once excess phosphate is released to rivers, exponential algal growth can occur.

7.reduces farmland and plant life to cleanse air - urban sprawl. Urban sprawl uses up land for houses in an inefficient manner that could have been used for farming or natural areas.

8. studies air,water, and land - ecologist. Ecology is the study of relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
