Question

The overall population of a species has increased. What could have occurred to allow this to happen? A. The emigration rate is greater than the death rate. B. The death rate of the population is greater than the immigration. C. The birth rate of the population is less than the death rate. D. The immigration of the population is greater than the emigration.

Answer 1

D. The immigration of the population is greater than the emigration.

When the overall population of a species increases, its immigration rate (excess entering the territory) is greater than the emigration rate (excess leaving the territory).

Answer 2

Answer;

D. The immigration of the population is greater than the emigration.

Step-by-step explanation;

A population consists of all the organisms of a given species that live in a particular area.

Populations change based on the births, deaths, immigrations, and emigrations that occur within the group. These additions and subtractions all affect population size, but do so in different ways.

Immigration is the migration of individuals into a population. Emigration, which is the migration of individuals out of a population, decreases the size of the given population.
