Explain how the carrying capacity of an ecosystem causes a population to decrease in size

Explanation:

carrying capacity is how many of a certain organism an ecosystem can hold, limiting factors are things that can limit a population's growth. So for example say there's a forest and it has a low amount of food for deer. Food availability would be a limiting factor and it effects how many deer the forest can support.

The reproductive strategy is dependent on the stability of the environment and resources. R-strategists reproduce quickly when resources are plentiful and have many offspring. K-strategists have a stable environment, produce only a few offspring at a time, and care for the young after birth.

The carrying capacity is the number of individuals that an ecosystem can support. The carrying capacity in an ecosystem is determined by the supply of resources for a population. When a population increases and reaches the carrying capacity, resources become limited. Disease and starvation increase the death rate. When the death rate is higher than the birth rate, the population decreases.

humans, along with other animals and plants, have linear chromosomes that are arranged in pairs within the nucleus of the cell. the only human cells that do not contain pairs of chromosomes are reproductive cells, or gametes, which carry just one copy of each chromosome.
