Geometric growth refers to the growth of populations that do not have overlap in their generations. Annual plants and some insects are good examples where adults die before young individuals mature to reproduce. Pacific salmon are an example of a vertebrate with geometric growth because spawning (egg laying). The equation for geometric growth is: N=No; where A= finite rate of increase and t=number of time intervals. Question A1. Calculate the population size after 10 time intervals (N10) if No = 120 and 2= 1.1. Question A2. If N1 = 750 and N2 = 890, calculate

Open the Excel Spreadsheet: ACTIVITY Population Biology Data Analysis Perform data analysis for: Tiger Find the "r" value for tiger. Enter the "r" numerical value in the cell to the right of r: (cell B6). Press ENTER after you enter the "r" value for Tiger. Keep No: the default value of 2. What is the projected population number at No (after 6 generations)? Enter the number below as a numerical value.

Choose only ONE best answer. C B A An r-selected species that reproduces frequently and provides little parental care A large K-selected species that expends a large amount of energy defending offspring from predators An r-selected species that typically have one reproductive event in their lifespan A small K-selected species that provide parental care to offspring, primarily in the form of food and body heat

Producing fewer eggs than the Lack number can be explained by (select all that are correct)   Question 4 options:   Egg production is never lower than the Lack number   Trying to avoid attracting a predator   Gene flow   Yearly variation in the environment   Producing larger eggs
