Exponential population growth is represented by
1. dt/dn=rN
2. dN/rN= dt
3. rN/dN= dt
4. dN/dt = rN

The population of an insect species shows an explosive increase in number during rainy season followed by its disappearance at the end of the season. What does this show?

What type of human population is represented by the following age pyramid?

1. Expanding population
2. Vanishing population
3. Stable population
4. Declining population

The logistic population growth is expressed by the equation:
1. \(\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rn \left(\dfrac{N - K}{N}\right)\)
2. \(\dfrac{dt}{dN} = Nr \left(\dfrac{K - N}{K}\right)\)
3. \(\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rN \left(\dfrac{K - N}{K}\right)\)
4. \(\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rN\)

Cuscuta is an example of
1. predation.
2. endoparasitism.
3. ectoparasitism.
4. brood parasitism.

A biologist studied the population of rats in a barn. He found that the average natality was 250, average mortality 240, immigration 20, and emigration 30. The net increase in population is:

3. commensalism.
4. amensalism.
