Which is not a difference between a population showing exponential growth and a population showing logistic growth?

Mutation rate is not a defining difference between exponential and logistic growth; it does not determine which growth pattern a population follows. Logistic growth is limited by factors such as food and disease and levels off at the environment’s carrying capacity, while exponential growth assumes resources are unlimited. Therefore, “mutation rate” is the choice that is not a difference.
