Which of the following statements is not true about the population? over the next century, population growth is expected to be greatest in developed nations. for many thousands of years, population growth was gradual. industrial production would have to quintuple over the next 40 years in order to maintain the same living standard that people have now, given expected population growth. just 10,000 years ago, the earth was home to no more than 10 million humans, scattered in small settlements

Population Growth is not expected to be greatest in developed nations.

Explanation: Actually there is a problem in most developed societies with the growth of their population. The fertility rate is dropping because people in developed nations tend to have fewer children. This is related to higher education, access to contraceptives and higher standards of living.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
