Population growth of a species is not related to which of the following parameters?
(1) Nt + 1 = Nt + [(B + I) − (D + E)]

(2) Out of the four basic processes effecting population growth three leads to increase in population size

(3) For a newly colonised habitat immigration plays major role than birth rate

(4) Under normal conditions, natality and mortality are the most important factors

The density of a population in a given habitat during a given period, fluctuates due to changes in four basic processes. On this basis fill up A and B boxes in the given diagram with correct options:

(a) A = Natality + Immigration, B = Mortality + Emigration

(b) A = Natality + Mortality, B = Immigration + Emigration

(c) A = Birth rate + Death rate, B = Migration + Emigration

(d) A = Natality + Emigration, B = Mortality + Immigration

The logistic population growth model, dN/dt = rN (K - N/K), describes a populations growth when an upper limit to growth is assumed. This upper limit to growth is known as the population's ________, and as N gets larger, dN/dt ________:

(1) Biotic potential, increases            

(2) Biotic potential, decreases

(3) Carrying capacity, increases                  

(4) Carrying capacity, decreases
