Introduction:
The birth rate is the number of live births in a particular time and the death rate is the number of the people deceased in a particular time. In humans, it is observed a decrease in the rate of death has been followed by a drop in the rate of birth. The speed of this adjustment contributes to determining future population growth.

Explanation of Solution
The changes in the population are termed as the demographic transition. The growth rate of the population is determined by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate.
In the given graph, in the beginning, the death and birth rates are high and the population growth is constant. Then in the demographic transition, the birth rates remain the same but the death rate falls. Then in the graph, the birth rate drops and the death rate remains constant.

- Noggin mutation: The mouse, one of the phenotypic consequences of Noggin mutationis mispatterning of the spinal cord, in the posterior region of the mouse embryo, suchthat in the hindlimb region the more ventral fates are lost, and the dorsal Pax3 domain isexpanded. (this experiment is not in the lectures).a. Hypothesis for why: What would be your hypothesis for why the ventral fatesare lost and dorsal fates expanded? Include in your answer the words notochord,BMP, SHH and either (or both of) surface ectoderm or lateral plate mesodermarrow_forwardNot part of a graded assignment, from a past midtermarrow_forwardNot part of a graded assignment, from a past midtermarrow_forward
