Final answer:

Populations grow exponentially with abundant resources but follow a logistic growth curve when resources become limited.


Explanation:

Population Growth Dynamics:

Exponential Growth: Populations with abundant resources grow rapidly at an accelerating pace.

Logistic Growth: When resources become limited, populations follow a logistic growth curve, leveling off at the carrying capacity.

Phenotypic Variation and Competition: Individuals within populations vary phenotypically, leading to intraspecific competition for resources.
