Organism and Population

Organism: An organism refers to a living individual of any species. It is a basic unit of life that exhibits various characteristics such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Organisms can be unicellular or multicellular.

Population: A Population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in common geography, sharing and competing for resources, and potentially interbreeding. Populations interact with their environment, and their size, distribution, and attributes can be studied to understand ecological dynamics and patterns.

Population Attributes are the characteristics used to define a population. Population attributes play an essential role in understanding the dynamics and characteristics of a population. These attributes are measured for a population, not for an organism. There are five important attributes of a population, namely, Natality Rate, Mortality Rate, Sex ratio, Age distribution, and Population Density.
