Question

A forest fire is an example of ___________ regulation of population growth. select one:

a. density dependent
b. density independent
c. r-selection
d. k-selection

Answer 1

The answer would be: b. density independent

In a forest fire, all the animal that contact it will be killed regardless of the population density so it would be density independent. Regulation that density dependent would be competition for food because higher density population will need more food. r/k selection depends on the trait of the species, so it is completely unrelated.
