Chapter 27, Problem 1AC

Research a developing country (such as Nigeria, Afghanistan, or Uganda) with rapid population growth and find out what factors sustain that growth and why. Explain these factors and assess the likelihood that the fertility rate of this country will drop in the near future.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The factors that sustain the rapid growth of developing countries like Nigeria, Afghanistan or Uganda.

Introduction:

The changes in a population number could be due to birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration. Birth and immigration lead to add individuals to a population and death and emigration leads to decrease in the number of individuals from a population. A wide gap between the birth and death rate could lead to faster growth in the rate of population.

Explanation of Solution

The population growth of developed countries is characterized by low death and birth rate. Increased food production, improved healthcare, and many other factors contributed to the low death rate. Also, the birth rate increased due to better economic conditions of people and access to birth control measures.

The factors that sustain the rapid growth of developing countries are listed below as:

1. Poverty: Poverty causes malnutrition which results in the increase of death rate. This will affect the population growth of developing countries.

2. Heath issues: Health issues affect the reproductive rates which directly affect the population growth of developing countries.

3. Politics: Politics also affect the population growth of developing countries, as the economy of developing country links to the political structures.

4. Terrorism: Terrorism also affects the population growth of developing countries.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Explain the factors and assess the likelihood that the fertility rate of this country will drop in the near future.

Introduction:

The changes in a population number could be due to birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration. The factors which affect the population’s growth are poverty, health issues, and food production.

Explanation of Solution

The population growth of developed countries is characterized by low death and birth rate. There are many factors like poverty which cause malnutrition, health care issues, and so on; all these factors affect the birth rate of population. If these factors remain in developing countries then fertility rate of the developing countries will keep decreasing.

Conclusion

The factors that sustain the rapid growth of the countries are poverty, health issues, politics, and terrorism. These factors also affect the fertility rate which in turn affects the population growth.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
