The value of 'r' approaches zero

B

K=N

C

D

`K lt N`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When K=N in a logistics growth curve, it is asymptote.
In means a population growing in a habitat with limited resources show initially a lag phase, followed by phase of acceleration and deceleration and finally an asymptote, i.e. when the population density (N) reaches the carrying capacity (K)

Population growth curve is logistic, when responses are limiting the growth, here K is carrying capacity and N is population density.
