All the following are correct about the exponential growth of population except:

1. It is represented by the equation dt/dN = rN
2. Resources in the habitat are unlimited
3. The rate of natural increase is represented by “r”
4. In 1981, the ‘r’ value for human population in India was 0.0205

The growth rate of a natural population will exactly be zero when:

1. The population size and carrying capacity are exactly equal.
2. The population size nears the carrying capacity of the habitat.
3. The ratio of population size and carrying capacity is zero.
4. Mortality is greater than natality.

Assertion(A): The logistic growth model is considered a more realistic one for a population growing under natural conditions.
Reason (R): Resources for growth for most animal populations are finite and become limiting sooner or later.
 

1.

Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).

2.

Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).

3.

(A) is True; (R) is False

4.

Both (A) and (R) are False

Logistic growth in a population is characterized by:
1. A constant rate of growth regardless of population size.
2. An exponential growth followed by a stabilization at the carrying capacity.
3. Decrease in population size after reaching the carrying capacity.
4. A linear increase in population size over time.

Consider the given two statements: 
Assertion (A): In logistic population growth, the growth rate decreases as the population reaches carrying capacity.
Reason (R): Resources begin to become scarce, leading to increased mortality and decreased birth rates.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
3. (A) is True but (R) is False. 
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

Determine which of the following statements about reproductive strategy of populations much below the carrying capacity is most likely to be correct?
1. They typically inhabit stable environments.
2. They produce a few offspring with high survival rates.
3. They have a high intrinsic growth rate.
4. They reproduce multiple times in their life and have a very long life span
