Consider a population undergoing logistic growth. When (K - N)/K = 0, what does that imply about the birth rate (b) and death rate (d)?

Question

Consider a population undergoing logistic growth.  When (K - N)/K = 0, what does that imply about the birth rate (b) and death rate (d)?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When (K - N)/K = 0, it means that the population size (N) has reached carrying capacity (K). At carrying capacity, the birth rate (b) is equal to the death rate (d), resulting in zero population growth. Therefore, the correct answer is C, b = d.
