Question

match each situation to the correct graph.

1. clownfish lay hundreds of eggs,but only 10% to 15% survive into adulthood.

2. 80% of elephant calves survive into adulthood.

3. A population of beetles in a newly colonized field grows exponentially.

4. A wolf population grows over a certain period and then stabilizes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The bottom graph matches this statement, because it shows a drastic decrease in population.

2. The top graph matches this statement, because it shows most of the population surviving for quite some time.

3. The second graph matches this statement, because it shows a drastic increase in population.

4. This would be the third graph, because it shows a dramatic increase then a stabilization.

Answer 2

• Here the population graph are given for different populations.

1. Clownfish lays hundreds of eggs, but only 10 to 15% survive in adulthood. This completely fits for graph number 4 which shows rapid declining in the population by time.

2. 80% of elephant calves survive into adulthood. This is described graphically by graph number 1 where great number of population size increases stably over a certain period of time.

3. A population of beetles in a newly colonized field grows exponentially. So an exponential graph - a "J" shaped curve in graph number 2  which shows an exponential increase in population size.

4. A wolf population grows over a certain period and then stabilizes, can be described by graph number 3 which is a "S" shaped curve.

It shows that after increasing for certain period of time the population stabilizes due to any environmental factors.
