Solution

Population:

A collection of creatures of a single species that may interbreed and live in the same habitat at around the same time is referred to as a population.

Stages of population:

  • Stage 1: (Pre-transition)High birth rate and high and varying death rate. and the growth rate of the population is very low.
  • Stage 2: (Early transition) The difference between the birth and death rate curves widens, the birth rate is more but the death rate is low. The population grows at an increased rate.
  • Stage 3: (Late transition) The birth rate decreases. Both the death and birth rate curves are getting closer. The population growth rate is very low.
  • Stage 4: (Post-transition) The birth rate curve continues to sink, much more than the death rate curve.The population growth is decreasing.
