Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and interact with each other. A community includes populations of different species living in the same area, so A is incorrect. A cohort refers to a group of individuals of the same species that were born at the same time and therefore does not describe a stable group living in the same region, so C is incorrect. A biome refers to a large geographical region with similar climatic conditions and vegetation, so this does not describe a specific group of individuals, so D is incorrect. An ecosystem refers to a community of living and nonliving things interacting with each other, so E includes both populations and communities, but is not a specific answer to the given question.
