The maximum value recorded in the experiment (e.g., 50% hatch rate) is half that the maximum value on the axis (e.g., 100%). The year recorded on the X axis does not start at 0.

- https://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/click/lionfish-invasion/introduction.html This section starts explaining how scientists use the population survey data that are collected to model how the lionfish population changes over time. These models enable scientists to make predictions about population changes, which is an important element of developing plans for managing the lionfish population You'll be using the discrete-time logistic model that is described on this page in future parts of the case study, so make sure to carefully read through the explanation of this mathematical model. Even if you don't have a strong math background, this case study walks through the equation step by step. 6)Which of the following are constant terms in the discrete-time logistic model? choose all that apply a)Nt b)ΔN c)t d)K e)Δt f)rmax,d g)None of thesearrow_forwardWhat are some of the traits present in the newt population described in the article?How might these traits change from individual to individual?

However the EPAS1 gene which increases the ability of red blood cells carry oxygen even in low environments, is only commonly found in the Tibetan population that live in higher elevations. Explain why this gene is commonly in Tibetan populations from the perspective of competitive advantage and natural selection. Write your answer in 3-5 sentencesarrow_forward

What is the relationship between the alleles driving this ability in European, Indian and African populations? A. One allele is responsible for lactase persistence in Europeans and Indians because of where agriculture originated and was introduced through migration. routes. B. The allele responsible for lactase persistence in all three populations is the same allele on the LCT gene. C. Different alleles are responsible for lactase persistence in each population. D. One allele is responsible for lactase persistence in Europeans, but other alleles cause the trait in Indian and African populations. E. One allele is responsible for lactase persistence in Africans, but other alleles cause the trait in European and Indian populations.arrow_forward
