Question

Which of the following is the correct sequence of phases in a typical population growth curve? Select one: a. stable equilibrium, exponential, lag, deceleration b. lag, exponential, deceleration, stable equilibrium c. deceleration, lag, stable equilibrium, exponential d. stable equilibrium, lag, deceleration, exponential

Answer 1

Answer:

b. lag, exponential, deceleration, stable equilibrium

Explanation:

The lag phase depicts the beginning of any population, as it is identified, it is the time which is immediately after the establishment. In this the population size is small, and a little constant.

Exponential stage is the one in which the population grows at a high rapid speed. Increase in percentage is same in each of the years.

Deceleration is the phase in which the speed to grow decreases, although there is increase in population but the percentage is low.

Stable Equilibrium is a stage in which the population do not grow and maintains itself at a static level.
