In 'J' shaped growth curve of population
(a) Exponential phase is lacking
(b) Exponential and stationary phases are absent
(c) Lag phase is lacking
(d) Plateau phase is absent

Dear student.

The correct option is  (d) Plateau phase is absent.

J – shaped population growth curve depicts the exponential growth of population. This means the growth rate of a population remains same resulting in a steady increase in population size, means there is no stationary or plateau phase.

Plateau Phase, also known as Stationary Phase. In this phase growth rate becomes stable because both Natality (Number of births) and Mortality (Number of deaths) becomes equal. There is Zero growth rate and population is said to be in Equilibrium.

Regards.
