AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Logistic Growth Model**: - The logistic growth model describes how a population grows in an environment with limited resources. It results in an S-shaped curve, indicating that the population grows rapidly at first, then slows down as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment. 2. **Identifying the Key Variables**: - In the logistic growth equation, we have: - \( \frac{dn}{dt} \): the rate of change of the population over time. ...

Assertion : A population growing in a habitat with limited resources shows initially a lag phase, followed by phase of accelerated and deceleration and finally as asymptote, when the population density reaches the carrying capacity. Reason : In Verhulst-Pearl Logistic growth, plot of N (population density) at time (t) results in a sigmoid curve.
