Which of the following is the equation for zero population growth (ZPG)?
A) b = m or r = 0
B) dN/dt = rN
C) dN/dt = rmax N (K - N)/K
D) dN/dt = rmax N
E) dN/dt = 1.0N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zero population growth occurs when the birth rate (b) equals the death rate (m) or when the population growth rate (r) is zero. Therefore, the equation for ZPG is b = m or r = 0, which is choice A.
