R-Selected Populations

According to Azer & El-Sherbini, (2011), understanding how cultures vary globally, we understand how important designing and implementing e-learning courses at the global level is. According to their study, global e-learning has challenges at the level of communication, technology, and world cultures (2011). The study of Geert Hofstede was monumental and developed out of a curiosity Hofstede had about worker values as a worker himself at IBM. Hofstede collected 116,000 surveys between 1968 and 1972 that lead to his development of “bipolar cultural dimensions, ultimately have a great impact on education and e-learning (Wang, (2007); Theriault, (2016); Liu, Liu, Lee, &

fitness does well in its habitat and passes those favorable alleles onto its offspring when it reproduces.

A population’s genetic makeup can change through mutations, change in location, an increase in population, and an increase in mating between organisms. Breeding within species ensure the future offsprings of a particular species and creates a variations in alleles than before. The environment is related to the organism existence in a community an example is a white butterfly in a snowy region. Predictors are less likely to see the

To get the results of this experiment I had to use the Lincoln-Peterson Equation, and the Percent Error equation. To find the estimate population size using the Lincoln-Peterson Equation I had to use the number given in the first attempt which was 20 tester organisms I captured, and the number of organisms I captured from the second attempt which was 18 organisms and out of those only 8 were testers.

3.The difference between population density and population distribution is vast. While population density is the number of individuals is the number of individuals per unit area, population distribution is described to be the pattern of dispersal of individuals across an area of interest.

The first step in any research is to accurately define the population of interest. Intellectual Disability (ID) has been called by many different terms: mental retardation, learning disability, mental handicap, and developmentally delayed. Generally, these terms are accepted as interchangeable (Schalock, Luckasson & Shogren, 2007). However, over time some of the characteristics required to receive a diagnosis of ID has changed. In the recent past, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Metal Disorders Text Revised (DSM IV TR) identified three criteria necessary to be diagnosed with ID. This included: impairments of intellectual functioning (IQ<70) are not necessarily excluded from the diagnosis. By deemphasized the importance of low IQ the as a defining feature of ID the diagnosis expanded its definition to include individual assessed with borderline intelligence and above (fact sheet reference).

C. When a population experiences founders effect it can lead to a population that differs from the

Offspring that possess favorable traits are more capable of surviving into adulthood and thus reproducing. We know from genetics that there is an increased likelihood that their offspring would also possess that desirable trait. The population of individuals possessing the trait would increase as more individuals possessing the trait survived to reproductive years, and fewer without the trait did not. Natural selection can help prevent a species from going extinct if they were to face adverse conditions that

There is another side to the biodiversity of the evolutionary field, as the population weakens the species start the inbreeding of smaller populations, thus playing a role in the extinction of a species. Inbreeding is reproduction among members of a species that are genetically similar. The genetic inbreeding is designed to bolster populations of species whose numbers are in decline. However, when only a few species or varieties of a species are cultivated or survive, the genetic diversity of the organism declines, and population is more vulnerable to being wiped out by new diseases or climate changes because of the inbreeding (Alters, 2000).

The overall selection rate is equal to 17/30. When it comes to minorities the PS scores for 6/9 score was 7 or higher with a selectin rate of 66.7%. For non-minorities 11/21 had a PS score of 7 or higher with a selection rate of 52.4%. For males 9/15 had a PS score of 7 or higher with a selection rate of 60%. For females 8/15 has a PS score of 7 or higher with a selection rate of 53.3%.

The selection of a diverse population of P. fluorescens can be accounted best by originating from a common ancestor than from a complex web. Under ideal conditions, cellular transformation can provide new traits, perhaps offering a higher fitness, but such occurrences lacked consistency and were insignificant to the frequency of mutations in heterogeneous microcosms. Thus adaptive radiation is the driving force of the differential fitness between populations.

However, it must be considered that a population already well adapted to the laboratory environment may experience outbreeding depression when elevated recombination rate is coupled with significant outcrossing. I speculate that outbreeding depression will not be observed in these short-term experiments with the wild isolates but will likely be observed in the N2 strain. Among the wild isolates, I predict that the elevation of recombination rate will allow the population to adapt more quickly to the environment, resulting in an increase in fitness after 100 generations, and this effect will be proportional to the rate of outcrossing. Dissecting the role of a changing environment and the degree of initial local adaptation are areas that could be explored as extensions of this

After reading about racially diverse populations I believe that the largest item that I noticed is not the actual mental health issues that are found in the population, but how they handle these issues differently. Every culture, race, or minority faces a set of issues outside of the norm in our society. Often it comes down to the individual and the type of care that they look for differing from others in their population. This care can be requested from a religious sect, from family only, or a variety of different manners. However, they commonly do not go directly to a mental health service first. This is problematic for many of reasons. It can be that they are brushed off by bias, they feel they have no support, or a variety of other reasons.
