Explanation:

Biotic potential, the maximum reproductive capacity of an organism under optimum environmental conditions.
It is often expressed as a proportional or percentage increase per year In unlimited resources ideal environmental conditions, a species can produce offspring at the maximum rate. This is called biotic potential.
Species like bacteria and mice which can produce a large number of offspring in a short time have high biotic potential while larger species like elephants and humans that produce only a few offspring have a low biotic potential.
