The answer is logistic growth.
It is modeled by an S-shaped curve. Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum individuals of a population that a habitat can sustain indefinitely
given the limited resources in the environment. Before this number
is achieved, the population grows exponentially and slows as it gets close. When
the K number is reached, the stationary phase enters.
If the mutation occurs during meiosis, the mutation will be incorporated into a gamete. If that gamete is the one that eventually fuses with another gamete (i.e. if it's the sperm that fertilizes the egg), that mutation will be passed on to the offspring. As all the offspring's cells are the result of the first two gametes, all the organism's cells will have that mutation. Obviously this can have dire consequences for the offspring, if the mutation is harmful.
<span>Osteomalacia is the disease known for softening of bones in adults. This is often caused by a vitamin D deficiency. This disease in children is known as Rickets which is more severe. Some symptoms to look out for are muscle weakness, body pains, and fragile bones. This deficiency is sometimes caused by a lack of sunlight or in some cases, diet.</span>
