Summary Introduction
To determine: The age structure of the population if the population pyramid of figure 59.2a given in the text book was inverted.
Introduction: The growth of future population of organisms can be determined with the help of age structure of population. Age structure can be defined as the relative numbers of organisms of each defined particular age group.
