Population bottleneck

The Goal, written by Eliyahu M. Goldrant and Jeff Fox, depicts real life experiences in a production facility through the perspectives of those in positions that vary from accountants to production plant managers to co-workers. The underlying messages and knowledge gained from this novel can be applied to multiple situations to yield a better outcome. The processes within a production plant can be broken down logically using good judgment provided the step by step within the reading. The…

of a gene in a tiny remote population, apparently owing to coincidental rather than normal selection. Usually, genetic drift takes place in very small inhabitants, where rarely occurring alleles face a better opportunity of being absent. Once it starts, genetic drift will carry on up until the allele involved is missing by the inhabitants or up until it is the lone allele existing in a population at a specific locus. Genetic drift is normal following population bottlenecks, which severely cut…

the chart shown above, Canada has a low birth rate of 10 per 1000 people and a low death rate of 8 per 1000 people in the year of 2014. Even after 25 years, the countries population rates stay fairly low, which will maintain the stable population. A birth rate and death rate being low will automatically result in a stable population and natural increase just like Canada has.…

environmental factors, advanced medicine, and personal choices (e.g. diet, exercise, etc.). However, important to note that with an increase in life expectancy, it has resulted in continual demographic changes. In fact, research suggests that by 2030, the population aged 65 and over will double in size given all members of the…

When dealing with small town police departments, many issues tend to arise when comparing the problems faced in a small town to an urban environment (Johnson, 2000). Some factors that small-town areas face include budget constraints, response time difficulties, and community relations (Gordner, 2006). These issues greatly affect rural areas due to a high poverty rates, low unemployment, and detrimental funding issues (Gordner, 2006). These problems cause small-town police departments to have…

France’s population patterns and birth rates diverged significantly from those that could be observed in Britain and the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century. In what way did they diverge? What were some of the reasons for this divergence as well as the consequences in terms of French political, social, cultural and economic life during the course of the nineteenth century? Ancien Regime France was the financial, demographic and cultural hub of Europe. A large unified landmass, a vast…

too. This led to increased economic growth. There was a shift in exports to emerging markets and because there was global growth there was great export growth. During the 1990s, import demand began to decline in high-income countries. Diminished population growth in high-income markets also began to take place, which slowed the growth in consumption and demand ultimately hurting the United States export growth, and agricultural exports greatly declined. During this time issues such as trade…

country often plays a role in the GDP; a large country with a large GDP cannot be compared to a small country with a smaller GDP. The population of France as of 2012 is approximately 63,514,000 people, and the population of the UK is about 63,705,000 people.9 With this information, it is reasonable to compare the GDP’s between the two countries since the population sizes of both are fairly similar. Due to France having a higher GDP, they are able to spend a little more per capita on healthcare…

the DeKalb County has a total population of 691,893. In the DeKalb county the female population accounts for 52.1 percent of the population, whereas the male population accounts for 47.9 percent. The median age in the DeKalb County is 34.3. However, the highest percentile is the 16 years and over which accounts for 78 percent of the population. In the DeKalb County, Black or African Americans makes up 54.3 percent of the population, making it the highest population in the county. In the DeKalb…
