Question

3.1.9-12.1 a population of mice in a meadow is growing in a pattern of logistic growth. arrange these events in the order in which they occur, with the first event on top and the last event on the bottom. not all of the events will be used. the rate of population increase begins to slow down. the population fluctuates near the carrying capacity. the population increases exponentially.

Explanation:

In logistic growth, the population first increases exponentially when resources are abundant. As it approaches the carrying - capacity of the environment, the rate of population increase slows down. Eventually, the population fluctuates near the carrying - capacity.

Answer:

1. The population increases exponentially.
2. The rate of population increase begins to slow down.
3. The population fluctuates near the carrying capacity.
