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. \(\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rN\)

The following graph depicts changes in two populations (A and B) of herbivores in a grassy field. A possible reason for these changes is that
1. both plant populations in this habitat decreased.
2. population B competed more successfully for food than population A.
3. population A produced more offspring than population B.
4. population A consumed the members of population B.

Gause’s principle of competitive exclusion states that:
1. | more abundant species will exclude the less abundant species through competition. |
2. | competition for the same resources excludes species having different food preferences. |
3. | no two species can occupy the same niche indefinitely for the same limiting resources. |
4. | larger organisms exclude smaller ones through competition. |
