Which Factor Explains a Uniform Distribution of Individuals in a Population

Question

Which factor explains a uniform distribution of individuals in a population?
A) soil nutrients available to a species of plant
B) territoriality in a species of bird
C) oxygen levels in a pond, where an oxygen-dependent bacterial species lives
D) food availability for humans living in a certain geographic area

Accepted Answer

Territoriality in a species of bird can lead to a uniform distribution of individuals, as birds defend their territories and space themselves out from others of their kind. This can help to decrease competition for resources and increase the chances of successful reproduction. Soil nutrients, oxygen levels, and food availability may affect population density, but do not necessarily lead to a uniform distribution of individuals.
