Consider the following hypothetical population and compute the statistical measures below: #births = 50,000; #deaths = 10,000; #

immigrants = 5,000; #emigrants = 20,000; mid-year population = 1,000,000. Show formulas and all relevant work.

Answer:

The birth rate refers to an average number of births in one year per thousand individuals in the population at mid-year.  

BR = (total birth in an annum / total population in mid year) * 1000

BR = (50000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 50

Death rate refers to an average number of death in an annum per thousand individuals in a population at mid year. Thus,  

DR = (total death / total population in mid year) * 1000

DR = (10000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 10

Annual population growth rate or APGR is calculated as:  

APGR = (Birth rate - Death rate) / Death rate

APGR = (50 - 10) / 10 = 4.0 %

Doubling time is the whole sum time needed for a population to get double in size. It is calculated as DT = ln (2) / growth rate

70 / 4.0 = 17.5 years

Thus, population will get double in 17.5 years.  

Adjusted (true) growth rate is equal to APGR + (NMR / Death rate)

And NMR = [(immigrants -emigrants) / total population] * 1000

NMR = [(5000 - 20000) / 1000000] * 1000 = -15

Thus, Adjusted (True) growth rate = 4.0 + (-15 /10) = -6%

The adjusted (true) doubling time = ln (2) / Adjusted growth rate  

= 70 / -6 = -11.66

This negative sign shows that it will never get double in such situation.

Write a paragraph explaining how genetic variation, reproductive strategies and environmental pressures have impacted the surviv
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: Genetics and Pressures

Explanation:

For natural selection to occur, a population must have a wide variety of individuals with different traits. For example, natural selection would not influence fish body color if all individuals in a population were exactly the same color. Variation of scale color can help a fish species have a higher chance of survival by confusing predators as to what species they are.

Reproductive strategies represent a set of behavioral, morphological, and physiological adaptations that facilitate access to potential mates, improve the chances of mating and fertilization, and enhance infant survival. Male peacocks have bright, big tail feathers, for example, to attract females. If an organism has a high appeal, this will make them more likely to be able to meet and continue the survival of the species.

Environmental pressures, such as plant death, could influence the survival of herbivorous organisms. Say a small land creature consisted off grass, and an epidemic killed all the grass in their region. They would either die off, or they would evolve to find different types of food. The former could reduce population, while the latter could increase it.
