Objective(s):
Research:
List the variable descriptors for the lab here.
Hypotheses:
Starting Seal Population Starting Whale Population Highest Seal Population Highest Whale Population
Trial 1 25 25
Trial 2 25
Trial 3 25
Table 2: Growth Rate and Capture Efficiency
Seal Birth Rate Capture Efficiency Highest Seal Population Highest Whale Population
Trial 1 0.05 0.005
Trial 2 0.005
Table 3: Death Rate and Capture Efficiency
Whale Death Rate Capture Efficiency Highest Seal Population Highest Whale Population
Trial 1 0.05 0.005
Trial 2 0.005
Were your hypotheses correct or incorrect? Why or why not?
Which factors affecting population growth and decline are modeled with the graphs?
Using Table 1, which of the three trials produced the highest population for both the whales and the seals? Why do you think this trial had the best outcome for the whale and seal populations?
Using Table 2 and 3, explain how the birth rates of the seals and the death rates of the whales affected the population for both whales and seals.
Questions:
Using what you have learned from the lesson and the virtual lab activity, answer the following questions in complete sentences:
Describe three additional biotic and abiotic factors not modeled in the simulation that could affect the population dynamic of the whales and seals.
Explain why some limiting factors may lead to drastic changes in whale and seal populations, while others may only cause minimal changes.
In this lesson, you learned about two patterns of population growth and decline, the sigmoid and peak phenomena. Does the seal and killer whale relationship represent a sigmoid or peak phenomenon? Please provide supporting details.
A microbe from an ecosystem that exists in the same arctic region has infected the whale population. The graph below shows the new carrying capacity for the whale population.
K is a steady horizontal line, slopes down, then levels off with N. N rises over time, sharply declines, rises again slightly, then levels off with K.
N represents population number, t represents time, and K represents carrying capacity.
Explain how these microbes have affected the whale population. Does this new evidence change the seal and killer whale relationship? Does this new relationship represent a sigmoid or peak phenomenon? Please provide supporting details.
If scientists added a chemical to destroy the arctic microbes, what positive and negative consequences could result? What population settings could you adjust in the simulation to test components of this solution?
Climate change in the form of global warming (an abiotic factor) has slowly decreased habitat for the arctic seals. What are the limitations of the population dynamics simulation in predicting the changes that may occur due to climate change?
Imagine that all nations agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half in an effort to reduce global warming. In what ways could you revise this simulation, so it accounted for the influence of this solution on arctic habitat, and on the whale and seal populations?

2. if someone had the list of traits you provided in question 1, do you think he or she would be able to find you in a group of 1000 people? why or why not? if not, what other information encoded in your genes might distinguish you from the others in the group? what are other traits that are encoded for by dna?
