What is true of the members of the same population? select all that apply.

a. they all have the same density.
b. they are all the same species.
c. they live a uniform distance apart.
d. they live in different parts of a forest.
e. they are all the same size?

Answer 1

Answer: b. they are all the same species.

A population can be defined as the group of organisms that belong to the same species, these organisms use a particular geographical location for their survival, they exhibit capabilities of interbreeding. A species can be defined as the group of the organisms that have a capability of mating and producing viable fertile offsprings, particularly after sexual reproduction.

Therefore, members of the same population are likely to belong to the same species.

Answer 2

On this matter, the most logical answer would be the letter B, in the sense that a population must be of the same species. For instance, it is not proper to say that a population of lions would include tigers.
