Compare and contrast the traits and growth patterns of oppor

Compare and contrast the traits and growth patterns of

opportunistic versus equilibrium populations. Provide

one example of each.

Solution

Answer=

Opportunistic polpulation = In opportunistic population growth pattern is exponential

2] The populations are regulated by density independent factors

3] organisms produce number of gametes because chance of fertilization is very low

4] examples = Insects ,corals , oysters etc.

Equilibrium populations =

1] Growth pattern is logical

2] The populations remain near carring capacity

3] Organisms have much fewer offspring & take care of them

4] examples = Birds , mammals & fishes
