Answer:
The ability of a population to increase under ideal environmental condition is called Biotic Potential.
Explanation:
- Biotic potential is an organism's greatest capacity to procreate in the ideal environmental circumstances. As in the sentence "The human population expanded by 3% last year," it is frequently stated as a proportional or percentage growth each year.
- It can also be stated as the period of time it takes for a population to double (doubling time). It is equivalent to the "force of infection" in disease-related studies, or the number of vulnerable people that each sick person spreads the disease to.
- Environmental resistance, or any condition that prevents the population from growing, limits how fully an organism can realise its biological potential. These include unfavourable weather patterns, a lack of space, light, or a suitable substrate, a lack of required chemical compounds or minerals, and more.
