Question

what best describes a population in ecology? a group of the same species in a given area. all species living together in an area. a single species in different habitats.

Explanation:

In ecology, a population is defined as a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area. The second option describes a community (all species in an area), and the third option is not a standard ecological definition for population as it focuses on a single species in different habitats rather than a group in a given area.

Answer:

A group of the same species in a given area.
