Question
ts-4 points cumulative) which of these assumptions is false about the logistic 1U. (o point growth model (circle all that apply)? a. Individuals adjust their birth and death rates instantaneously as the population changes in size. b. Populations above the carrying capacity continue to grow. c. The environment is constant over time 11. (6 points, 100 points cumulative) The logistic growth model describes the growth of a population taking into account density-dependent effects (i.e., intraspecific competition for resources). Which of the following does NOT encompass the characteristics and assumptions of this model? a. In this model, growth follows an S-shaped 'sigmoid' curve. b. The environment is constant. c. Individuals adjust their birth and death rates instantaneously as the population changes in size. d. A population is structured due to variation among individuals in age, sex, and genotype. e. A population grows at its fastest rate at intermediate densities.Explanation / Answer
Answer 10. The false assumption is b i.e. populations above carrying capacity continue to grow.
It is false because the model assumes growth to decline if it outweighs carrying capacity.
Answer 11. The statement which is not the characteristic or assumption of logistic model is "d" i.e. the populations are structured due to variation among individuals in age, sex or genotype.
It is not a characteristic rather this model assumes that all individuals are identical.
