Answer: Option E, in 12 years.

Explanation:

A geometric growth model is characterized by its finite growth rate, known as lambda. The size of the population after a unit of time has passed can be calculated using the last known size and lamba as:

N_{t+1} = \lambda * N_t

Starting from the initial value of population, the next one will be calculated multiplying by 1.4, and the next one multiplying again by 1.4, thus we can define a function that relates the time passed in year to the size of the population:

N(t) = \lambda^{t} *N_0

Substituting our values we get the function that defines the growth of our poupulation:

N(t) = 1.4^{t} *10

Then, we just have to clear the t that gives a population of 500:

500 =  1.4^t*10, divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 10\\50 = 1.4^t, apply\ log_{1.4}(x)\ to\ both\ sides\\log_{1.4}(50)=t\\11.63=t

Thus, at 12 years, the population will be greater than 500.

among the typical midlife changes for men are a(n) . a. loss of body fat b. increase in testosterone production c. increase in p
Tcecarenko [31]

Among the typical midlife changes for men is an Increase in prostate size.

A portion of the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation is produced by the prostate, a gland. The urethra, which is the tube through which urine leaves the body, is surrounded by the prostate gland.

As you get older, your chances of having an enlarged prostate go up. Because BPH is so common, it has been said that if a man lives long enough, he will all have an enlarged prostate. Many men over 40 have a small amount of prostate enlargement. The condition affects more than 90% of men over the age of 80.

The genes that masks the effects of other genes
kicyunya [14]

epistatic gene

Explanation:

Some genes mask the expression of other genes just as a fully dominant allele masks the expression of its recessive counterpart. A gene that masks the phenotypic effect of another gene is called an epistatic gene; the gene it subordinates is the hypostatic gene.
