Introduction :
Fertility rate: It is the number of live births per 1000 women of reproductive ages (15 years to 49 years) per year.
Technological advances and medicine have improved the chances of human survival. However, different countries have different population growth patterns. Developing countries have a higher fertility rate in comparison to developed countries, which results in a higher

Answer to Problem 27A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (C) 3.2 billion.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
The projected population of developing countries that have a high fertility rate by 2050 is 10.5 billion and the projected population of developing countries that have a low fertility rate by 2050 is 7.3 billion.
The difference between the projected populations of above mentioned developing countries is:
10.5 billion-7.3 billion= 3.2 billion.
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (A) 1.5 billion is the difference between projected population of developing countries with high fertility rate and developing countries with average fertility rate by 2050.
Option (B) 1.7 billion is the difference between projected population of developing countries with average fertility rate and developing countries with low fertility rate by 2050.
Option (D) 9 billion is the projected population of developing countries that have average fertility rate by 2050.

Introduction :
Dispersion Pattern: It is one of the characteristic of population, which is defined as pattern of spacing of a population within an area. It describes spacing of individuals in a population with respect to one another.
Primary factors in the dispersion pattern for all organisms are the availability of
There are three main types of dispersion: Uniform, Clumped groups and Random.
(b)
Answer to Problem 27A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (A) clumped.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Clumped dispersion: Individuals are clumped in groups.
Reasons for clumped dispersion: Safety from predators, thermoregulation, clumped distribution of resources, tendency of progeny to remain near parents.
So herding animals shows clumped dispersion pattern.
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (B) Random: In this dispersion pattern position of each individual is independent of the other individuals. But in herding animals, individuals remain in groups. It is a rare dispersion pattern and primarily because of random distribution of resources.
Option (C) Uniform: individuals maintain a minimum distance from other individuals (also called, evenly spaced). Maintenance of minimum distance among individuals, to avoid competition e.g., to avoid fights over food, or interference while foraging
Option (D) Unpredictable: It is not a type of dispersion pattern.

- Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…arrow_forwardQuestion #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate.

- If you wanted to reduce the difference between peak and trough levels that occur with repeated administration of a drug, how would you adjust the dose and dose interval without changing the plateau concentration (plateau is the average of peak and trough levels)? Select your answers for both dose and interval. Hint: It may be helpful to think about this problem using an example such as food. How would you eat if you wanted to maintain very steady hunger/satiety levels without changing your total caloric intake? Options: A. Dose; Increase dose B. Dose; Decrease dose C. Dose; Do not change dose D. Interval; Increase the interval between doses (give the drug less frequently) E. Interval; Decrease the interval between doses (give the drug more frequently) F.
