12 Biology Organisms and Populations - Set No : 6 Question No :3

Question No : 3
               When food and space for a population are unlimited?I. Each species has the ability to realize fully its inherited potential to growII. Then it is equal to III. It is described by J-shaped curveIV. It is described by S-shaped curveV. Than it has greater intrinsic rate for resourcesVI. There are more competition among themselfChoose the incorrect statements     

                a)          I, II and III          b)          II, IIII and IV     

                c)          IV and VI          d)          IV, V and VI     

Answer No : 3
     (c)When food and space are unlimited than population.(i) Increased by using its maximum biotic potential(ii) Shows exponential growth(iii) Shows exponential growth curve also called ‘J-shaped curve(iv) Show greater intrinsic rateA population growing in a habitat with limited resources shows three phases.(i) Lag phase It is the initial phase in which a population adapt themself according to the environment and starts to increase their number(ii) Log phase It is the second phase in which a population use its resources maximally and increases their number exponentially. Number of birth >> Number of death(iii) Stationary phase It is the 3rd phase in which the population reached the carrying capacity level and population get stationary position. No of death = No of death
