Question

A population of rabbits inhabits an area with ample resources. A group of foxes (predators) moves into the rabbits' habitat. Which of the following describes the growth curve of the rabbit population now that the foxes have arrived?

A.J-shaped curve with exponential growth
B.linear graph with inconsistent
C.S-shaped curve with logistic growth

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C

The population of rabbits in an area will keep on growing until the predators (a group of foxes) reach that place.

The habitat was suitable for rabbits and they were growing in large numbers. When the foxes have arrived in the habitat of the rabbits they will eat the rabbits and their population will decrease.

This will represent the S-shaped curve with logistic growth. In this case the per capita growth of the population gets smaller as the population size increases and reaches the maximum which is limited due to resources which is known as the carrying capacity of the earth.

Answer 2

"S-shaped curve with logistic growth" is the one among the following choices given in the question that describes the growth curve of the rabbit population now that the foxes have arrived. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope it helps you.
