Question

13 multiple choice 2 points which pattern best represents a boom - and - bust population cycle? alternating periods of migration constant population size over time rapid growth followed by a sudden decline a gradual, linear increase

Explanation:

A boom - and - bust population cycle is characterized by periods of rapid growth (boom) and then sudden decline (bust). Migration (first option) is about movement of individuals and not the cycle itself. A constant population size (second option) is the opposite of a boom - and - bust cycle. A gradual, linear increase (fourth option) does not have the decline part of the cycle.

Answer:

Rapid growth followed by a sudden decline
