Which of the following statements about logistic growth is not correct? A population growing logistically has reached the carrying capacity of the environment in which it lives. A logistically growing population is represented by an S-shaped curve. When a population is growing logistically, it is limited by factors such as food supply and water.

Population Growth

R and K Selection

R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.
