Question

The relationship between population density $(N_t)$ and population growth rate $(R=N_{t+1}/N_t)$ in a certain animal species is shown below.

Choose from the following graphs the appropriate population growth patterns that would be obtained if the population is at the densities (I, II, III) shown in the graph above.
[Note : The $y$-axis in $A$ to $D$ is relative density that cannot be compared to the absolute density in the figure.]

• A. l-$A$, ll-$B$, lll-$C$
• B. l-$D$, ll-$C$, lll-$B$
• C. l-$B$, ll-$C$, lll-$D$
• D. l-$C$, ll-$A$, lll-$B$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Correct answer is (b) l-$D$, ll-$C$, lll-$B$
