When does the growth rate of a population following the logistic model equal zero ? The logistic model is given as dN/dt = rN(1-N/K):

A

When death rate is greater than birth rate

B

When N/k is exactly one

C

When N nears the carrying capacity of habitat

D

When N/k equals zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Rate of population growth depends upon the environment resistance (i.e., 1- N/k) and becomes zero when environment resistance becomes zero.

Read the following text and answer the following question on the basis of the same : Growth of population with time shows specific and predictable patters. Two types of growth patter of populaiton are exponetial and logistic growth . When resource in the habitat are unlimited each species has the ability to relize fully its innate potential to grow in number . Then the population gorws in exponential fashion . When the resource are limited growth curve shows an inital slow rate and then it accelerates and finally slows giving the gorwth curve which is sigmoid . The population growth is generally descibed by the following equations : dN//dt = rN(K-N)//K What does 'r' represent in the given equation ?
