Question 7 • TPS EdX Biology

Which type of limiting factor affects a large population more than it affects a small population?

Answer
A
density dependent
B
density independent
C
population dependent
D
population independent

Explanation

Density-dependent limiting factors have stronger effects as a population becomes more crowded. For example, disease can spread more easily and competition for food can increase in a large population, so “density dependent” is the correct choice.
