A population with finite resources shows a logistic growth curve where the correct sequence of events will be :

Acceleration phase → Deceleration → Asymptote

Acceleration phase → Lag phase → Stationary phase

Lag phase → Acceleration phase → Deceleration → Asymptote

Stationary phase → Acceleration phase → Lag phase → Asymptote

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

A logistic (S-shaped) growth curve shows:

Lag phase – slow growth initially.

Acceleration (log) phase – rapid growth.

Deceleration phase – growth slows as resources become limiting.

Asymptote (stationary phase) – population reaches carrying capacity (K).
