The formula for exponential population growth is :-

1. dt/dN = rN

2. dN/rN = dt

3. rN/dN = dt

4. dN/dt = rN

Find the correct mathematical expression for geometric growth resulting in a J-shaped population growth curve.

1. $\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}$

2. $\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}$

3. $\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right)$

4. $\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left(\frac{\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{N}}\right)$

Exponential growth occurs when there is:

(3) This is an ideal situation.

(4) Resource availability is not that essential for the unimpeded growth

In a population growth rate curve the lag phase represents the period when a population is adjusting to a new environment.
II. In a population growth rate curve the steepest part of growth phase represents the period when a population is growing exponentially.
