Write an essay (about 200-300 words) in which you briefly describe the concept and stages of demographic transition. Be sure to analyze its relationship to population growth trends and explain the dilemma associated with its presence. Further, with specific examples, present your arguments about (1) why so many states are caught in the middle of the transition and (2) what this means for the North-South divide?

2. (Adapted from problem 9.9 in the text) A population of insects is divided into two stages. Females in the first stage produce 3 female offspring each, and 25 percent survive to the second stage. The females in the second stage produce 7 female offspring and then die. When a new female is born (from a female in either stage), it becomes first stage female. a (a) Write down a matrix model for these populations that determines how the pop-...

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)...

1. Describe the three stages in transcription in prokaryotes and note the functions of the enzymes that are involved for each. 2. Describe three ways in which transcription in in eukaryotes is different from that of prokaryotes. 3. At what stage of transcription do these alterations take place in? Initiation, Elongation or Termination? 4. Draw a prokaryotic gene with the following features: a. A promoter region with -35 and -10 consensus sequences. b. The start point of transcription with first...
