Population genetics of chickpea and its wild progenitors C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum Susan Moenga Introduction Chickpea, Cicer arietinum, is the second most widely grown legume in the world, cultivated on ~11.5 million ha mostly in India and Ethiopia (FAOSTAT, 2013). Genetic and molecular evidence have demonstrated that C. reticulatum is the progenitor of the cultivated pulse, with Nguyen et al., (2004) and Sethy et al., (2006) both supporting C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum (both restricted

boys. In looking at the statistics the African American population continues to suffer through obesity because of the limited access provided as well as other barriers such as poor diet and physical education. African American is consistently one of the top ethnicity suffering obesity. Although in the African American culture they continuously keep food as their revolving globe. Food connects the African American population together socially and culturally which individuals were brought

Can we feed the World’s Future populations? Currently we produce enough food supply to adequately distribute enough food to feed the world’s population (approximately 7.3 billion people). Unfortunately, food is not evenly distributed, one in seven people in the world do not have enough food to lead an active and healthy life, yet over a billion people are overweight. By the year 2050 the world’s population is estimated that to reach 9.7 billion people. That is an extra 2.4 billion mouths to feed

1.0 Introduction Population growth and economic development have been intertwined since historic times. The question of these two detrimental factors being correlated with one another has been the topic for debate time and time again, but even today controversies among them exist. Our economy has withheld the impact of war, immigration, and depressions and stands today at a much higher point than it did decades ago. The concern is not with where the economy stands today, but where it will be in the

Lab Report 1 Genetic Changes in Populations: The Consequences of Selection General Biology II Lab Junyao Li Introduction In this lab, we explore the reason genetic changes happened within a population. We use bean-bag model to simulate allele and genotype frequencies for three generations of deer mice under three different selective regimes. Then, we use the Hardy-Weinberg Principle to assess the selection and evolution experienced by deer mice. The Hardy-Weinberg Principle is one of the most

Mathematical Modeling of Urban Population Changes Background of Issue The growth of population is the issue that caused widespread concern in the world now. As the world’s top 1 populous country, China’s population problem becoming more prominent. Because of the base of large population, although China has implemented the one-child policy to practice family planning, population is still increasing greatly. This huge population pressure has brought a series of problems on China’s social, political

Earth’s population is increasing, and areas which are already home to millions are continuing to expand. As these cities continue to grow, when the population reaches a certain point it is referred to as a megacity, a megacity is a metropolitan area with a total population of 10 million plus. These megacities are so large that they are becoming out of control settlements, cities like Los Angeles and Tokyo are being forced to expand upwards due to having to accommodate for the thriving population. These

society is moving towards a world like that of Brave New World. This is something we should be looking forward to. MAIN POINTS 1. Population Control 2. Eugenics 3. Drugs The world that we live in today is already starting to look like that of Huxley envision of Brave New World. II. Second Topic: Population Control In the Brave New World’s society there was population control “ But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow

As the world population continues to rise, there are growing concerns for maintaining agricultural farmlands, especially in developing countries with drought and famine. This has also led to many shortages of food, due to high demand because of the increasing population. Demographists worry that if this growing issue continues to hurt food consumption of povertized countries, than there will be more deaths because the population is increasing, but the food levels are staying the same, or even decreasing

certain areas of UCSB in their entirety in which two of those theories include population ecology and neoinstitutional theory. Population ecology and neoinstitutional theory looks at UCSB in divergent perspectives: population ecology looks at UCSB as a living or dying species whereas neoinstitutional theory highlights UCSB’s importance as an establishment to its field of education. With this, I am going to compare both, population ecology and neoinstitutional theory, in relation to the University of California
