To figure out the human population density of your community, you would need to know the number of people living there and a. the land area in which they live. b. the birth rate of the population. c. the dispersion pattern of the population. d. the carrying capacity.

Give examples of how two different populations of organisms might have the same population density, but different dispersal patterns. a. Two populations could occupy the same range with the same number of individuals, giving different dispersal patterns. However, both the populations may be dispersed randomly throughout the range, giving identical population densities. b. Two populations could occupy the different range with the different number of individuals, giving different dispersal patterns. However, both the populations may move over this range in a herd, giving identical population densities. c. Two populations could occupy the same range with the different number of individuals, giving identical population densities. However, one population may move over this range in a herd while the other population may be dispersed randomly throughout the range. d. Two populations could occupy the same range with the same number of individuals, giving identical population densities. However, one population may move over this range in a herd while the other population may be dispersed randomly throughout the range.
