- Design a sampling experiment that would allow you to estimate the size of the sockeye salmon population in a river in British Columbia1. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which line/curve best describes the theory of natural selection of Charles Darwin? 2. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which curve represents the scenario described by Thomas Malthus "the populations with unlimited natural resources grow very rapidly, after which population growth decreases as resources become depleted". 3. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which curve best represents the growth of bacteria? 4. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which line/curve acts as a moderating force in the growth rate by slowing it when resources become limited and stopping growth once it has been reached.A biologist is conducting an experiment that involves a colony of fruit flies. (Biologists frequently study fruit flies because their short life span allows the experimenters to easily study several generations.) One day, there were 2,730 flies in the colony. Three days later, there were 5,780. c.(Use the model to predict when the population will be double its initial size.)
