When environmental conditions are non-limiting what will happen

Options

A. Maximum mortality and minimum natality
B. Mortality minimum
C. Natality minimum
D. Motality maximum

Answer

a

Explanation

(a) Maximum reproductive capacity or biotic potential (r ) coan be realised only when environmental resources are non-limiting and conditions favour minimum mortality (specific mortality). However environment has a limiting effect on the rise of population. The sum of abiotic (eg.Tamparture, water space etc.) and biotic (eg. Food, competition, disease, predation etc.) factors checks the rise in population size and prevents the species to relise its biotic potential.
It help in lmiting population size to below the carrying capacity.
