Explanation / Answer

5. In exponential growth as the population size increases the number of people getting added each generation-
C) gets larger,

6. The mortality rate is generally expressed in the number of deaths per 1000 individual. Here the mortality is very low. hence all the moose will survive. So the answer is-

A) 100
