How did the initial conditions of development differ between developed and developing countries? correct answer: 1. Developing countries are often less well endowed with natural and human capital than the currently developed nations. 2. Low-income countries have on average lower levels of real per capita income than developed countries in the world. 3. By the time of their early industrialization, many developed countries, notably the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, had economi...

Demographics Answer the study of the dynamics of population change Exponential curve- Answer when populations follow an accelerating rate of growth which is proportional to the population size Crude Birth Rate (CBR) Answer number of births per thousand individuals in a population per year Crude Death Rate (CDR) Answer number of deaths per thousand individuals in a population per year calculate CDR and CBR Answer dividing the amount of deaths or births by the population, and then mult...

Binary Fission : Most common form of bacterial reproduction Binary Fission 4Basic Steps : 1.Growth of cell size and increase in cell components 2.Replication of DNA 3.Division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis) 4.Septum formation and division of daughter cells Z ring Assembly : •Cytokinesis is directed by FtsZ protein •FtsZ assembles Z ring to form divisome •Divisome activates production of peptidoglycan and septum Generation Time : •Generation Time (Doubling Time) - time takes ...

evolution - change in gene frequency in a population over time mechanism - a way for change to occur natural selection - a process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits - proposed mechanism for evolutionary change variation is determined by - the environment heredity - passing of traits from parents to offspring reproductive success - successfully passing genes to next generation...
