Match the following population attributes with their correct definitions: Column I A. Immigration B. Population density C. Mortality D. Natality E. Emigration Column II 1. Number of births during a given period, added to initial density 2. Size of a population in a unit space at a given time 3. Number of individuals leaving the habitat and moving elsewhere 4. Number of deaths in the population during a given period 5. Number of individuals entering a habitat from elsewhere
Correct answer: D — A–5, B–2, C–4, D–1, E–3
Immigration = individuals entering from elsewhere (5). Population density = population size per unit space (2). Mortality = number of deaths in a given period (4). Natality = number of births added to initial density (1). Emigration = individuals leaving habitat (3).
