Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct. Limiting factors are factors that prevent a population from continuing to grow at an exponential rate. They include both density-dependent factors (such as competition for resources, predation, and disease) and density-independent factors (such as natural disasters and unfavorable weather conditions). These factors have a more pronounced effect as a population grows and act together as environmental resistance to population growth.
