A population growing in a habitat with limited resources shows four phases of growth
in the following sequence
Acceleration$-$Deceleration $-$Lag phase$-$Asymptote
Asymptote$-$ Acceleration$-$Deceleration $-$Lag phase
Lag phase$-$ Acceleration$-$Deceleration$-$ Asymptote
Acceleration$-$ Lag phase$-$ Deceleration$-$ Asymptote
Solution
When a population is growing in a limited resource, the population growth consists of five phases.
$(i)$ Lag phases No or very little growth.
$(ii)$ Accelerantial Growth in the beginning.
$(iii)$ Exponential phaseNumber of individual increases at an logarithmic rate.
$(iv)$ Deceleration phase Rate of population increase slow down.
$(v)$ Stationary phase Essentially no net change.
