A population of 20 squirrels, with 10 males and 10 females, colonizes a new area with no predators and enough plant species to s

upport a squirrel population of 200 individuals. Each year, a female produces 2 offspring, one male and one female, that survive to reproduce. Within the first 2 years in the new area, the growth curve for this squirrel population will show:
A. logistic growth because the squirrel population will reach maximum population size immediately after colonization.B. logistic growth because there is a carrying capacity in the newly colonized area.C. exponential growth because only a few individuals will have offspring.D. exponential growth because the colonizing population size is far below the carrying capacity.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The growth curve for this squirrel population will show exponential growth; (constant multiple in each generation and with unlimited resource availability) because the colonizing population size after the first two years estimated at still being less than 100 is still far below the carrying capacity of 200 individuals.

If one drop is 3 ml, how many liters is one drop? (3 points)
Daniel [21]
Given,

3ml = 1 drop
1 ml = 1/3 drop
1000ml = 1x1000/3 drops
1 Litre = 1000/3 drop
1 drop = 3/1000 litre
1 drop = 0.003 litre

Huntington's disease is a hereditary ailment caused by a recessive gene. if both parents carry the gene but do not have the dise
serg [7]
Getting the probability for each event can easily be done using Punnett Square (say, Hh x Hh for the couple since they are both carriers of the disease). Doing so will result to: 0.25 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is not a carrier of the gene, 0.50 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is a carrier of the gene, and a 0.25 probability of an offspring having the disease. The probability of these events apply to each offspring, and will not depend on how many children they want to have. This means each offspring has a 0.25-0.50-0.25 chance of not being a carrier, being a carrier, and having the disease, respectively.
