A population of Drosophila melanogaster with 10,000 individuals and a carrying capacity of 20,000 follows the logistic growth equation. Suppose that 5,000individuals of a competitor species, Drosophila simulans, are added to the population, and that this species has an a of 0.5. One would predict that this number ofcompetitive individuals will decrease the D. melanogaster population growth rate by the same amount as the addition of _______ D. melanogaster individualswould.a. 250b. 500c. 750d. 1,000e. 2,500Show all work
