EXPONENTIAL GROWTH:
A kelp population has a starting size of five individuals. Each
individual has 50% chance of reproducing (producing one offspring.
Each individual has a 25% chance of dying. How many individuals
will be in each successive generation for 15 generations? Complete
the table for 15 generations.
LOGISTIC GROWTH: The kelp population has a starting size of five individuals. Each individual has a 50% chance of reproducing. Each individual has a 25% chance of dying. There are only 50 possible attachment spots for kelp. How many individuals will be in each successive generation for 30 generations? Calculate and plot population size for the values of r and K and for at least one other made up value for r and K.

Stochastic Population Growth Model Next, we are going to monitor the population growth of an asexually reproducing single-celled organism, centinia lincolni (pennies). This Centina population has a mortality rate of 50% per year, but all individuals that survive the year divide to produce an additional individual. The very most basic growth model of a closed population is: N+ N-deaths births Rewritten to use rates instead of individuals, this equation becomes: N+ -N,S+N.BS where S is the probability of survival (0.5)...

a) You are studying a population of aphids with an initial
population size of 500. During a one-month period, you observe 40
births and 15 deaths in the population. Estimate the value of r for
that month, and predict the population size in three months (from
the initial population size). Remember that r is the per capita
rate of population increase. (Assume exponential population
growth).

Early growth is relatively slow, after which growth is rapid. This rapid, logarithmic phase of growth represents the organism's blotic potential, which is its maximal reproductive capacity if given unlimited resources, exponential growth.

A population of flour beetles has 1000 individuals. Normally the beetles are red in color; however, this population has a utation in the gene for body color that results in black beetles that are designated by the rr genotype. Red body color is dominant to black so the genotypes RR and Rr result in red beetles. Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with a 50% frequency of each allele for body color. A) --- what is the frequency of...

Simulate the following population system: There are 100 mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) groups, each with 100 members, 50 male and 50 Write a program to simulate population growth, tracking the sizes of mDNA groups. To simplify, assume the members of the population marry at random and that they have children in distinct generations. For each generation, marry males and females picked at random, and assign each family 0, 1, 2, or 3 children, each randomly male or female, P(male) Plfemale).5, and...
