Answer:

144

Explanation:

Population growth rate refers to the measure of how a population (N) changes over a particular time (t). Hence, it is termed as (dN/dt) where d represents the change.

The logistic population growth rate equation is given as:

dN/dT = rmaxN (K-N/K)

Where; dN/dt = population growth rate

K = carrying capacity of

population

rmax = maximum per capital

growth rate

N = population number

dN/dt = 0.3 × 1200 (2000-1200/2000)

dN/dt = 360 (800/2000)

dN/dt = 360 (0.4)

dN/dt = 144

Hence, the growth rate of the population (dN/dt) is 144

Briefly explain how DNA profiling is used to identify individuals.
Ne4ueva [31]
A sample of DNA is taken from blood of saliva. PCR makes lots of copies, or amplifies the DNA. We then add restriction enzymes to cut the DNA at palindrome sequences. We then run the DNA through gel Elecrophoresis. Each person has unique short tandem repeats that cause a unique number of cuts by the restriction enzyme. These cuts are separated by size on gel electrophoresis, so no two people have the exact same pattern. We can compare individuals banding patterns to what is found at a crime scene, taken in previous samples, in a baby, and the sample that matches all the banding patterns will be the individual.

) what foods have high levels of iron? look at the food pyramid; items in the meat group generally have a lot of iron.
Elis [28]
Surprisingly chocolate actually contains a fair amount of iron. Red meats are known to contain iron, one thing in particular is blood (yes that is sometimes eaten, and it contains a lot of iron). Such organs of animals that are high in iron include the spleen and or marrow. 

If you wish to go vegetarian red veggies tend to be high in iron, one in particular are beets (yes, i know, they aren't red until processed)

Unlike reptiles and amphibians, birds generate their own body heat, what does this mean for birds?​
ioda

Answer:

Birds can keep themselves warn without any external heat source which is not the case with reptiles and amphibians

Explanation:

Birds are able to generate heat means they are endothermic. They generate heat through various metabolic processes.  They have air pockets beneath their feathers to insulate their bodies during cold temperatures. Feathers which are modified reptilian scales help birds to streamline their exterior body and structure feathers in a way that it insulates the body.
