Question

Slow growth in population graph curve is known as

• A. Lag phase
• B. Log phase
• C. Exponential phase
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lag phase

A population has two types of growth curves. S-shaped and J-shaped. There is an initial phase where population grows slowly and such slow growth phase is called as a lag phase. It is followed by the phase of rapid growth, called as exponential growth or log phase.
