Can someone please help me answer the below question?
Be sure to answer all parts. The net reproductive rate, R0, of a population can be used to predict whether a population will grow or shrink over time. 1fR 0 is greater than 1 then a population is growing; if it is less than 1, the population is shrinking; and if it is equal to one, then the population is at equilibrium. The size of the next generation of a population can be determined by multiplying the net reproductive rate by the current population size, N. Part 1 out of 2 Given a current population size of 323 and a net reproductive rate of 1.40, what would be the size of the population in the next generation?Explanation / Answer
Nt+1 = net reproductive rate x current population size.
Nt+1 = 1.40 x 323 = 452.2
The size of the population in next generation would be 452.2, as the reproductive rate exceeds 1 (1.40), the population is growing.
