Question

explain the relationship between biotic potential and
environment resistant

Ritika Goyal · Accepted Answer

Biotic potential can be defined as the maximum reproductive
capacity of an organism, when all the optimum conditions are
present In nature, generally all the optimal conditions necessary
for the achieving the maximum reproductive rate are not present at
the same time So, due to environmental factors, the full
expression of biotic potential is restricted This is known
as environmental resistance Environmental resistance may occur due
to various factors like climatic conditions, diseases, presence and
absence of light, etc Each of these factors can restrict the
expression of biotic potential and hence act as the controls for
limiting the growth of organisms
