Introduction: The average total fertility rate of a population can be defined as the average number of offspring that will be born to a woman over her entire lifetime period.
Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer: The average total fertility rate that is needed for zero population change across the world is 2.3. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
For the determination of an average number of children produced by a woman across the world, the total fertility rate is used and it is the most common metric. At present, it has been calculated that the average fertility rate for zero population change is less than 2.5 children per woman. The correct value for the average total fertility rate is 2.3.
Option d. is given as “2.3”.
An average total fertility rate of 2.3 is required for zero population change across the world. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
Reasons for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “1.7”.
An average total fertility rate of 1.7 can be defined as a sub-replacement fertility rate of children born per woman. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b is given as, “1.9”.
An average total fertility rate of 1.9 can be defined as a sub-replacement fertility rate of children born per woman. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as, “2.0”.
The average total fertility rate which is required for zero population change is 2.3 instead of 2.0. Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Option e. is given as, “2.5”.
The average total fertility rate which is required for zero population change is 2.3 instead of 2.5. Hence, option e. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., c., and e. are incorrect.
An average total fertility rate of 2.3 can be defined as an average rate of production of offspring by a woman across the world for no change in the population.

- "One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forwardIf four babies are born on a given day What is the chance all four will be girls?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
