Using the attached image and chart, calculate the doubling time for a population with the given growth curve. Coordinates are presented as (time, Ln(population).
I didn't see calculation for the gross reproduction rate and Total fert
Proteus vulgaris has a doubling time of roughly 28 minutes. If an initial population of 500 cells is allowed to grow for 6 hours in ideal conditions, what will be the final population? Use three significant figures for your final answer (e.g. 16,796.654 would become 16,800).
