All the given are correct for logistic growth of population, except

Population Growth
NEET
1

Shown by a population growing in a habitat with limited resources

2

Lag phase is followed by log and then deceleration phase

3

Growth curve is J-shaped

4

It is considered to be more realistic one

Solution:

Logistic growth occurs when resources are limited, and it is represented by an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve. This curve typically includes an initial lag phase, followed by an exponential (log) phase, a deceleration phase, and finally a stationary phase as the population approaches the carrying capacity (K). A J-shaped growth curve, on the other hand, represents exponential growth, which occurs under unlimited resource conditions. Since logistic growth accounts for limited resources, it is considered a more realistic model for population growth in nature.
