Ans. An individual and a population have following certain attributes like the pattern of distribution. dispersal biotic potential and gene pool. The phenomenon of distribution of individuals within the geographical boundaries of the population is termed as intrapopulation dispersion or internal distribution patterns or dispersion.

(i) Immigration is the number of individuals of the same species that have come into the habitat from elsewhere during a specified time period.
