Answer 1

The rate at which a population grows, or declines, depends upon the rate of births, immigration, and deaths.

These factors determine the balance of individuals added to and lost from the population, directly influencing its growth or decline. Births add new individuals, immigration brings in individuals from other populations, and deaths remove individuals from the population. Together, they regulate the population size and growth rate.
