Question

put the statements in order to describe the chain of events that occurs after a population overshoots the carrying capacity.
there are enough resources to meet the needs of remaining individuals.
the death rate increases above the birth rate.
the population size increases.
the birth rate becomes higher than the death rate.
there are not enough resources to go around.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Initial Population Growth

First, the birth rate is higher than death rate, so the population size increases. So the first statement is "The birth rate becomes higher than the death rate." followed by "The population size increases."

Step2: Resource Shortage After Overshoot

When population overshoots carrying capacity, "There are not enough resources to go around."

Step3: Death Rate Exceeds Birth Rate

Due to resource shortage, "The death rate increases above the birth rate."

Step4: Resource Stability for Remaining

Finally, after population adjusts, "There are enough resources to meet the needs of remaining individuals."

So the order is: 1. The birth rate becomes higher than the death rate. 2. The population size increases. 3. There are not enough resources to go around. 4. The death rate increases above the birth rate. 5. There are enough resources to meet the needs of remaining individuals.

Answer:

1. The birth rate becomes higher than the death rate.
2. The population size increases.
3. There are not enough resources to go around.
4. The death rate increases above the birth rate.
5. There are enough resources to meet the needs of remaining individuals.
