Question

A population is made up of ______.

Options

• all individuals of any kind

• all groups of organisms in an area at any one time

• groups of individuals of different kinds in an area

• individuals of the same kind in an area at a given time

Answer 1

A population is made up of individuals of the same kind in an area at a given time.

Explanation:

A population consists of individuals of the same species living in a specific area at a particular time. This means they are of the same species and share the same habitat. Groups of organisms of different kinds do not form a population; instead, they form a community. Thus, population refers specifically to the number of individuals of a given species in an area at a given time.
