a) The population is growing geometrically. When a population have distinct reproductive season it is not growing continuously & will have discrete reproductive periods. This type of growth show geometric growth. As the mammals only reproduce one breeding season per year, it has distinct reproductive season. From this we can tell that the mammals undergo geometric growth.
b) The population growth rate is the ratio of population (Nt+1) in (t+1) year to the population (Nt) in t year.
Given, Population in 2019 (Nt+1) = 84, Population in 2018 (Nt) = 72
So, population growth rate
() =
Nt+1 / Nt = 84/72 = 1.1667
(Up to 4 decimal)
c) We know that,
Nt = N0t
where, Nt = Population at t year, N0 =
Initial population, t = time in year,
=
Population growth rate
Given, N0 = 84
(Population in year 2019), =
1.1667 (Calculated in previous part, t = 2 year (As difference
between 2021 & 2019 is 2 years)
So, population in
2021 (Nt) = 84 x (1.1667)2 = 114.34

You are a conservation biologist, and you discover a small population of plants that live in rocky patches of land on the western side of the Superstition mountains (population A). These plants are biennial, meaning that they reproduce only in their second year of life and then die. The population you discover in Year 1 consists of 150 seeds, 30 one-year-old (vegetative) plants, and 10 two-year-old (flowering) plants. Other biologists at ASU have already done the long and hard research...

1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a
parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite
resistant genotype that spreads through the population through
natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in
a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy
genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this
host parasite “arms race”.?
1b) What is this name...
