                    The formula for exponential population growth is:                                                                          

    A)                  dt/dN = rN     

    B)                  dN/rN = dt

    C)                  rN/dN = dt 

    D)                  dN/dt = Rn

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    In J-shaped form of population growth, the density increases in an exponential manner and then a crash occurs or the increase stops abruptly as environmental resistance becomes effective. This is mathematically described by an equation of exponential or geometric increase, which is as follows:                 \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\]                 where, d = rate of change                 t = time                 N = number of females at a particular time                 r = biotic potential of each female                 (N can also be considered as die total population and r as the biotic potential of each individual).
