STANDARD Zoology Population Growth MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium
The logistic population growth is expressed by the equation
A
dN/dt = rN
B
dN/dt = rN (N - K)/N
C
dt/dN = r (K - N)/K
D
dN/dt = rN (K - N)/K
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
Logistic growth describes a situation in which resources present in the environment are limiting in nature, and a given habitat has enough resources to support a maximum possible number. The equation dN/dt = rN (K - N)/K represents this growth, where N is the population density at time t, r is the intrinsic rate of natural increase, and K is the carrying capacity.
