A population at any given time is composed of individuals of same ages 3. The shape of the pyramids reflects the growth status of the population - (a) whether it is growing, (b) stable or (c) declining. 4. The age of the population tells us a lot a

Options

  1. AAll are incorrect
  2. BOnly 1 and 5 are correct
  3. COnly 2 is incorrect
  4. DBoth 1 and 2 are correct

Correct answer

C. Only 2 is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

A population at any given time is composed of individuals of different ages. If the age distribution is plotted for the population, the resulting structure is called an age pyramid. For human population, the age pyramids generally show age distribution of males and females in a diagram. The shape of the pyramids reflects the growth status of the population - (a) whether it is growing, (b) stable or (c) declining. The size of the population tells us a lot about its status in the habitat.
