1. | Lag phase | 2. | Deceleration phase |
3. | Asymptote | 4. | Sudden crash phase |
1. | A constant rate of growth regardless of population size. |
2. | An exponential growth followed by a stabilization at the carrying capacity. |
3. | Decrease in population size after reaching the carrying capacity. |
4. | A linear increase in population size over time. |
Growth rate of a natural population will be equal to zero when:
(1) N/K is exactly one
(2) N nears the carrying capacity of the habitat
(3) N/K equals zero
(4) mortality is greater than natality
1. | They typically inhabit stable environments. |
2. | They produce a few offspring with high survival rates. |
3. | They have a high intrinsic growth rate. |
4. | They reproduce multiple times in their life and have a very long life span |
Assertion (A): | A population experiencing high natality rates will always exhibit exponential growth. |
Reason (R): | Exponential growth occurs only when resources are unlimited. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
