Abstract Population genetics is the study of how localized groups of individuals capable of interbreeding and creating fertile progeny change genetically over time. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium accounts for gene pools that do not change genetically over time. In this experiment‚ I intended to determine whether the sample population consisting of my fellow biology lab classmates would fall in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the ALU insert from human chromosome 8. My hypothesis was

downtown high-rise sound? These are but a few minor‚ yet inconvenient‚ effects of the population explosion we Californian’s are facing. Our geographical space is not getting any larger‚ but our population is. The 2000 census showed California’s population increased by 13.6% over 1990 census figures to 33‚871‚648 people. California adds over 550‚000 people annually‚ which is roughly equivalent to adding the entire population of the state of Vermont every year. Why is California so over populated and what

2 – Human Resources Thomas Malthus: Theory of population Malthus stated that‚ the populations’‚ of the world would increase in geometric proportions while the food resources available for them would increase only in arithmetic proportions. In simple words‚ if human population was allowed to increase in an uncontrolled way‚ then the number of people would increase at a faster rate than the food supply. A point would come when human populations of the world reach the limit up to which food sources

the population growth of Switzerland over a period of 114 years‚ from 1900-2014‚ calculating the growth rate and predicting the future population. I chose this topic as I live in Switzerland and wanted to find out how the country has developed over 114 years. It therefore is of relevance to me. We were discussing population growth trends in geography class and it interested me how different countries had different growth patterns. In general‚ I wanted to learn more about modeling a population growth

The Resource Available Affecting Population Every day the world in increasing in number; however this has a possibility of becoming a negative thing. With a continuous increase in population there will not be enough other resources such as food and fuel to supply everyone appropriately. Overpopulation is a problem for every country‚ especially developing countries‚ due to lack of proper resources. Some resources that affect population numbers are money education and health care. These are all factors

With Australia’s population at approximately 21 million and counting‚ it is an important challenge for the future of the nation. Over the years‚ there have been many factors that have affected the Australian population and in the future there will be plenty more.
