How are Phase 1 and Phase 2 of logistic growth different A A

How are Phase 1 and Phase 2 of logistic growth different?

A. A population is increasing, moving toward its carrying capacity during both phases.

B. A population is at its carrying capacity during both phases.

C. Population grows rapidly in Phase 1 but slows in Phase 2.

D. The emigration rate is higher than the immigration rate during both phases.

Solution

A. A population is increasing, moving toward its carrying capacity during both phases.

LOGISTIC Growth curve is the pattern of growth on individuals in a population when resources are limitted and nutrients get depleted. In such cases the maximum size of population equals the carryiung capacity.

IN this, a S shaped curve is present.
