Population Growth
R and K Selection
R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.

Introduction :-
The curve of an exponential function is formed by a pattern of data that exhibits larger rises with the passage of time.
For example, imagine a mouse population grows by a factor of two every year, starting with 2 in the first year, then 4 in the second, 8 in the third, 16 in the fourth, and so on. In this example, the population is increasing by a factor of two every year. If mice gave birth to four pups instead, there would be four, then 16, then 64, then 25 6.
