Advertisements
Solution 1
A population is a group of individuals of the same species that are capable of interbreeding and are found in a geographical area. E.g., all the frogs identified as Rana tigrina living in a given pond constitute a population. Similarly, all water hyacinth plants (Eichhornia) growing in that pond form another population. Organisms of the same kind may form several populations inhabiting different geographical areas.
Solution 2
The population is defined as a group of individuals of a species occupying a definite geographic area at a given time.
