Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nutrient supply is a density-dependent factor because it becomes limiting as the population grows and more individuals are competing for the same resources. This can lead to decreased growth rates and increased mortality, ultimately affecting the size of the population. The other options are density-independent factors that do not directly depend on the size of the population.
