Question

Describe the difference between density dependent and independent factors with respect to how they regulate the size of a population. (please can someone go in depth please type i have a problem reading handwriting)

Answer 1

Density dependent factors	Density - independent factors
Density-dependent factors are those that regulate the growth of a population depending on its density	density-independent factors are those that regulate population growth without depending on its density.
Examples of such factors are- food, shelter, predation, competition, and diseases.	Examples are- natural calamities like floods, fires, tornados, droughts, extreme temperatures, and the disturbance of the habitat of living organisms.
Density-dependent factors usually operate in large populations	density-independent factors operate in both large and small populations.
while density-dependent factors depend upon the gain and loss rates.	.Density independent factors act on their own
