Which of the followimg could be reasons why popultion sizes may reach and maintaim plateaus? choose the three that apply Will mark as brilliant answer

Below :D

Explanation:

So basically, this question is asking what will cause a species' population to reach a point where it stops increasing.

Lets think about what can cause a lack of increase?

A decrease can cause this.

Or a slow in the rate of increase.

Now lets look at our selectable answers and see if any of them would fall under these two things.

First up is fewer deaths.

Well, fewer deaths basically means less of a decrease in population.

This is the opposite of decreasing the populatin count, and would instead raise it.

Next we have a limit in food supply.

This would cause a organism to starve and die.

So this would cause a decrease in population count.

So B is one of the answers

Next up is competition with other species.

When two species compete for a sort of resources, one massivly dies out due to outcompetion, and loses the resources needed to survive.

So this would also cause a large decrease in population count.

This makes C one of the answers

Next is increase in birth rates.

This would cause more organisms to be born of a species, basically increasing the population count.

This is the opposite of a decrease in  population.

Next we have competition for space.

This is very similar to answer C, and the outcompeted species dies out due to lack of space.

So E is one of the answers

Now, the next answer seems viable, because major storms can kill off organisms, like hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanos for instance.

However, as seen in many organisms over history, while these major storms kill of organisms, they can recover.

So although major storms decrease populations, they dont actually limit them.

In the end:

B is correct

C is correct

E is correct

Hope this helps!

several tissues working together form an organ, and several organs together make up an organisms.

the group of cell that carries out special jobs are tissue.

the african cheetah.

this species has a relatively low level of genetic

variation because the population was reduced to a small size approxi-

mately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

until   now,   we   have   primarily   focused   our   attention   on   genes  

within   individuals   and   their   related   family   members.   in   this  

chapter   and   chapters   25   and   26   ,   we   turn   to   the   study   of   genes   in  

a   population   or   species.   the   field   of

population   genetics

  is   con-

cerned   with   changes   in   genetic   variation   within   a   group   of   indi-

viduals   over   time.   population   geneticists   want   to   know   the   extent  

of   genetic   variation   within   populations,   why   it   exists,   and   how   it  

changes   over   the   course   of   many   generations.   the   field   of   popu-

lation   genetics   emerged   as   a   branch   of   genetics   in   the   1920s   and  

1930s.   its   mathematical   foundations   were   developed   by   theoreti-

cians   who   extended   the   principles   of   gregor   mendel   and   charles  

darwin   by   deriving   formulas   to   explain   the   occurrence   of   geno-

types   within   populations.   these   foundations   can   be   largely   attrib-

uted to three scientists: sir ronald fisher, sewall wright, and j. b. s.

haldane.   as   we   will   see,   support   for   their   mathematical   theories  

was provided by several researchers who analyzed the genetic com-

position   of   natural   and   experimental   populations.   more   recently,  

population   geneticists   have   used   techniques   to   probe   genetic  

variation   at   the   molecular   level.   in   addition,   staggering   advances  

in   computer   technology   have   aided   population   geneticists   in   the  

analysis   of   their   genetic   theories   and   data.   in   this   chapter,   we   will  

explore   the   genetic   variation   that   occurs   in   populations   and   con-

sider   the   reasons   why   the   genetic   composition   of   populations   may  

change over the course of several generations
