During logistic growth, the sigmoid curve will level off when:
1. the population stops reproducing
2. the population starts reproducing asexually
3. the population reaches the environmental carrying capacity
4. sigmoid growth curves never levels off

2. Type II
3. Type III
4. Type IV
A form of mimicry where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a predator of them both is called:

2. Batesian mimicry
3. cryptic coloration
4. disruptive coloration
