A) In a population, number of birth is different from birth rate.
B) A sigmoid growth curve is depiction of exponential growth.
C) In a logistic growth curve the asymptote is beyond the carrying capacity.
D) r is equal to the difference between number of births and number of deaths in a population.
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
When any one of the growth parameters such as growth in size or weight, increase in number of cells, etc., are plotted in a graph against time a clear sigmoid curve is obtained. It is also known as S-curve or growth curve. This growth curve shows three phases of growth. They are log phase, exponential phase and stationary phase. The rapid growth occurs during the exponential phase.
