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

Explanation:

In logistic - growth, initially, there are few limiting factors, so the population increases exponentially. As the population approaches the carrying capacity, resources become scarce and competition increases, causing the growth rate to slow 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.
