Question

1. look at the highlighted portion of the graph. which of the following is the best explanation for what is occurring within the population during this time period? a. birthrate > death rate b. birthrate < death rate c. birthrate = death rate

Explanation:

The highlighted portion of the logistic growth graph shows the population increasing (the curve is rising). For a population to increase, the birthrate must be greater than the death rate. If birthrate < death rate, the population would decrease; if birthrate = death rate, the population would remain stable. So the best explanation is that birthrate > death rate.

Answer:

A. birthrate > death rate
