Question
The graph shows the worldwide human population from 1950 to 2050. Data for the future years are predictions.
According to the ideas of Thomas Malthus, what are the predicted changes to the human population after 2050?
A.
The population would continue to increase at the same rate, due to constant food supplies.
B.
The population would increase more rapidly, due to advances in technology.
C.
Eventually the population would stop increasing or would decrease, due to lack of food and living space.
D.
Eventually the population would decrease to zero, because of war, famine, or disease.

- Wildebeest are species of antelope found in southern Africa. The wildebeest herd in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, is the largest herbivore herd on Earth. Scientists began monitoring the sizes of the Serengeti's large mammal populations in the 1960s. Over the next few decades, they noticed something unusual: the wildebeest population was increasing at a rate much faster than before. The scientists determined that this increase was due to several factors. One factor was a vaccination program that eradicated rinderpest, a viral disease that kills wildebeest. Based on the figure, what kind of population growth model would you use to represent wildebeest (circles) populations? wildebeest zebra 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 year Figure 1.

- A kid let go 4 snails he bought at the pet store in a pond. A year later, the population of snails has grown to 13. Assuming that the population is growing exponentially, how many snails can one expect after 10 years?

Round your answer to the closest full number.arrow_forwardA population of 1,000 wild turkeys is studied and observed by scientists on an island. The scientists construct a study over five years to observe the temperature, amount of precipitation, the daily value of berries individually consumed that were their exclusive food source, mating patterns, and available habitat for nesting. The scientists determined that as the climate changed, the population began to decrease. Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium as a null hypothesis, which statement would support the alternative hypothesis? No change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because the population size is large. A change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because natural selection occurred due to the change in climate. No change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because mutations will not occur as a result of climate change. A change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because mating is random.arrow_forward
