What is a Population?
Populations are formed by two or more organisms of one type living in
the same area. It can also be defined as a group of the same species
working together to achieve a common goal. In a population there are no
other types of organisms, biotic factors or abiotic factors.
One way to help you remember what a population is, is to think about

species, we gather all the information involoving the number of humans in our
area. We don't include how many buildings or roads or cats there are. A population
is only organisms of the same type living in a area.
