Question 21 • CA-Life Science B (High School)

hunting by humans

Answer
A
density-dependent
B
density-independent

Explanation

Hunting by humans is generally a density-independent factor because it can reduce a population regardless of how crowded that population is. Density-dependent factors, such as competition for food or disease, usually have stronger effects as population density increases. Therefore, the correct choice is density-independent.
