A plant population produces many seeds. that if a population of plants is currently 30 individuals, and rmax= 12 plants/month, the carrying capacity is in meadow is 40 plants. what is their dn/dt in this logistic growth situation?

14130

Explanation:

Logistic growth is a measure of continuous growth of a population of individuals in such an environment where the resources are limited. Such type of growth pattern has a characteristic growth curve which is S-shaped or sigmoidal.

The equation for logistic growth is as follows -

Change in population size =

Where,

N = size of population

r = intrinsic rate of increase

K = carrying capacity

The values of r, N and K are given in the question as 12, 30 and 40 respectively.

So,

during the process of dna replication, brdu can replace thymidine and incorporate into the newly synthesized dna, cell proliferation thus can be reflected in the extent of brdu incorporation.
