The figure shows population growth trajectories over time (as indicated by the arrows) of two stored-grain beetle  species  when  grown  together  under  constant  conditions.  Three  experiments  were  performed  that  differed only in the initial densities of the two species. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the experimental results?


#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Population growth is random (unpredictable) for each species. 
  2. No equilibrium exists in which both species can coexist.
  3. Interspecific competition is stronger than intraspecific competition.
  4. Density dependence within each species is stronger than interspecific competition.

A scientist constructs a recombinant bacterial plasmid that contains a gene conferring resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (amp). The scientist transforms cultures of E. coli bacteria with the recombinant plasmid, then incubates the cultures overnight on plates containing media without ampicillin (amp-) and with ampicillin (amp+).
Assuming the transformation protocol was successful, which of the following best predicts the bacterial growth pattern expected after the incubation period?
