Understand the definition of a population in genetics and ecology: it refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific geographic area who can potentially interbreed.
Recognize that a population is not simply all organisms in an ecosystem, because an ecosystem includes multiple species, not just one.
Note that a population is not limited to genetically identical clones; genetic variation usually exists within a population.
Distinguish between a population and a community: a community includes multiple species interacting, whereas a population is a single species group.
Conclude that the correct description of a population is 'Individuals of the same species living in the same area.'
