What term describes a group of the same type of organism living in the same area?
Correct Answer:
Population
Explanation:
A population is a group of the same species living in the same area. This framing lets us study how many individuals are present, how crowded they are, and how the group changes over time in that space. It’s different from an individual organism (one living thing) and from cells (the basic units of life). It’s also distinct from a microbiome, which is all the microorganisms in an environment and may include many different species rather than just one. For example, a school of fish or a stand of oak trees in a meadow each forms a population of that species in that area.
