Question

Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

A scientist concludes that a population of bison has reached the carrying capacity of the prairie where it lives. The birthrate and death rate of the bison population are equal to each other. What can be concluded about the rates of immigration and emigration?

A. The rates of immigration and emigration are equal to each other.

B. The rate of either immigration or emigration is zero.

C. The rate of immigration equals the birthrate.

D. The rate of emigration equals the death rate.

Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

the rate of emigration is most likely to be zero since the population continued to grow enough to reach its carrying capacity, even with an equal rate of birth and death within the population. it could be deduced that external bisons kept trooping into the population but no one was leaving.
