If you draw the age pyramid for a population that is expanding in size, you would expect that:
 
1. the number of individuals in the pre-reproductive age group are more than the number of individuals in the reproductive age group.
2. the number of individuals in the reproductive age group are less than the number of individuals in the post-reproductive age group.
3. the number of individuals in the reproductive age group are equal to the number of individuals in the reproductive age group.
4. the number of individuals in the pre-reproductive age group are less than the number of individuals in the reproductive age group.
