In a Population,the Difference Between the Birth Rate and the Death

Question

In a population,the difference between the birth rate and the death rate is termed the
A) population density determining factor.
B) J-shaped population curve.
C) population dispersion factor.
D) S-shaped population curve.
E) per capita rate of increase.

Accepted Answer

The difference between the birth rate and the death rate is the fundamental factor that determines the per capita rate of increase. This is the rate at which the population grows or declines over time. The other options do not accurately describe this concept. Population density, dispersion, and the J-shaped and S-shaped population curves are all related to the spatial distribution of populations and their growth patterns, but they do not directly reflect the difference between birth and death rates.
