Describe the process illustrated in the diagram above. how many individuals would exist if the process continued for one more generation?

The process illustrated can be described as the exponential growth of a population, starting with one individual, with a multiplicative growing rate of 2.If the process continued for one more generation, 8 individuals would exist.

Explanation:

The diagram illustrates the multiplication of individuals (population) by a factor of two. First generation consits of one individual (one green oval), second generation has two individuals (two green ovals), and third generation has four individuals (four green ovals).

Hence, you see that the individuals are growing with a multiplicative rate of 2:

First generation: 1 individual Second genertation: 2 individuals = 2 × 1Third generation: 4 individuals = 2 × 2 = 4

Now you can calculate how many individuals would exist if the process continued for one more generation: just multiply the previous generation by 2:

Number of individuals in a generation = 2 × number of individuals in the previous generation.Number of individuals in the fourth generation = 2 × number of individuals in the third generation.Number of individuals in the fourth generation = 2 × 4 = 8

The nucleus inside an atom consists of positively-charged  protons  and neutrally-charged  neutrons. a  proton  is a subatomic particle with a positive electric charge. allprotons  are identical.

Answer: abeexplanation:

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.
