Question

What typically happens to a real population's size in relation to its carrying capacity?

Question 5 options:

It exceeds its carrying capacity indefinitely

It oscillates around its carrying capacity

It remains constant and never changes

It falls to zero

Answer 1

It typically oscillates around its carrying capacity, as the population size increases above the carrying capacity, resources become limited and the population declines. This cycle continues as the population increases and decreases in response to the availability of resources.
