Chapter 53: Q9TYU (page 1188)

Which of the following statements about human populations in industrialized countries is incorrect?

(A) Birth rates and death rates are high.

(B) Average family size is relatively small.

(C) The population has undergone a demographic transition.

(D) The survivorship curve is Type I.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The statement "Birth rates and death rates are high." is correct.
  2. The statement "Average family size is relatively small." is incorrect.
  3. The statement "The population has undergone the demographic transition." is incorrect.
  4. The statement "The survivorship curve is Type I." is incorrect.

Step by step solution

01

Industrialized country

An industrialized country has a well-developed and sophisticated economy, measured by GDP or average per capita income. Technologically advanced countries have a wide range of industrial and service industries.

02

Explanation of option '(A)'

It is incorrect to claim that death rates are high in developed nations because life expectancy is relatively high. Additionally, birth control is enforced in developed countries, as opposed to poor ones.

Thus, the birth rates and death rates are not high in a developed country.

Therefore, the given statement is correct.

03

Explanation of option '(B)'

A developed country's population is more likely to focus on the criteria of a small happy family, encouraging people to have a restricted number of children, resulting in a small family.

Thus, the size of a family in a developed country is small.

Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

04

Explanation of option '(C)'

Demographic transition is a term used to describe the shift in populations from traditional societies with high fertility and mortality rates to contemporary societies with lower fertility and mortality rates.

Thus, the population has gone through a demographic shift.

Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

05

Explanation of option '(D)'

People in wealthy nations have a higher Type I survival rate. According to this curve, individuals who live through early and middle life, but not those who live to late age, have a far lower chance of surviving to late age.

Thus, the survivorship curve is developed in Type 1.

Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

Scientific study of the population cycles of the snowshoe hare and its predator, the lynx has revealed that

(A) predation is the dominant factor affecting prey population cycling.

(B) hares and lynx are so mutually dependent that each species cannot survive without the other.

(C) both hare and lynx population sizes are affected mainly by abiotic factors.

(D) the hare population is r-selected and the lynx population is K-selected.

Assuming that r= 1.0 and K= 1,500, calculate the population growth rate for four cases where population size (N) is greater than carrying capacity (K): N= 1,510, 1,600, 1,750, and 2,000 individuals. To do this, first write the equation for the population growth rate given in Table 53.2. Plug in the values for each of the four cases, starting with N= 1,510, and solve the equation for each

one. Which population size has the highest growth rate?

What do the data represented in the graph suggest about the effects of cane toads on the predatory behavior of red-bellied black snakes in areas where the toads are and are not currently found?

Explain why a population that fits the logistic growth model increases more rapidly at intermediate size than at relatively small and large sizes

SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE Locusts (grasshoppers in the family Acrididae) undergo cyclic population outbreaks, leading to massive swarms such as this one in the Canary Islands, off the west coast of Africa. Of the mechanisms of density-dependent regulation shown in Figure 53.18, choose the two that you think most apply to locust swarms, and explain why.
