For logistic population growth, the initial growth is slow while the population is trying to get acclimatized to the environment but the growth increases exponentially once it is done acclimatizing. The exponential growth continues until the carrying capacity is reached and then starts to fluctuate around the carrying capacity.<u> The carrying capacity signifies the maximum size of the population that the environment can support based on the resources that it has.</u> Hence, the logistic population growth curve forms a S shape.
In summary, the correct order of events is:
<em>The population increase begins to slow</em>
<em>The population increases exponentially</em>
<em> The population fluctuates near carrying capacity</em>
Based on the description above, the molecular clock data
shows is that the Clams and Snails are more similar and related in structure
compared of the clams and squids. It is because it could be seen in the process
that organism are better in adapting to their environment in means of
increasing their number, survive and to pass on their traits to the next
generation.
