1Answer
Answer
b) Immigration
Explanation
- Immigration is defined as the movement of individuals into a population from outside or from another population. This process increases the population size.
- Emigration is the movement of individuals out of a population to another area, which decreases the population size.
- Migration is the general term for the movement of individuals from one place to another, encompassing both immigration and emigration.
- Dispersion refers to the spatial arrangement or distribution of individuals within a population (e.g., clumped, uniform, or random), not the movement of individuals into or out of the group.
Therefore, the specific term for the addition of individuals from outside is immigration.
