Answer
The attributes that populations but not individual possess are :
(1) An individual may have births and deaths, but a population has birth rates and death rates; these rates refer to per capita births and deaths.
(2) An individual is either a male or a female but a population has a sex ratio.
(3) An individual at a given time is of specific age but a population at any given time is composed of individuals of different ages.
(4) The size of the population tells us a lot about its status in the habitat. A single individual cannot tell us about the particulars of a habitat.
