Answer: Resources are always limited.

Exponential growth can be defined as the increase in the number of members in a population, at a constantly growing rate.  In nature population may grow exponentially for some period but ultimately decline due to limitation in resource availability. Resources are available to population according to the carrying capacity of the region or ecosystem. Carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum number of individuals that an ecosystem can sustain on the basis of availability of resources like food, shelter and others.

The natural populations cannot keep growing exponentially because the increase in the  size of the population may exceed the carrying capacity of the region or ecosystem. This has resulted due to the limitation of resources.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Phenotypic changes:

When Rhodobacter is cultured in total darkness for multiple generations, the ability to produce it's own photopigment reduces with time with little or no ability to undergo its own photosynthesis due to absence of enzymes or pigment for photosynthesis.

It becomes expensive for the Rhodobacter to undergo photosynthesis. This allows mutants that can grow in the dark to take over from the culture grown in the dark.

Evolutionary processes:

It's natural selection that allows the fittest organism to survive. As in the case of the mutants
