Read the following text and answer the following question on the basis of the same:
Growth of a population with time shows specific and predictable patterns. Two types of growth pattern of population are exponential and logistic growth. When resources in the habitat are unlimited each species has the ability to realize fully its innate potential to grow in number. Then the population grows in exponential fashion. When the resources are limited the growth curve shows an initial slow rate and then it accelerates and finally slows giving the growth curve which is sigmoid.
Q. Identify the incorrect statement:
