Use the figure to answer the question below. The unlettered circle at the top of the figure shows a diploid nucleus with four chromosomes that have not yet replicated. There are two pairs of homologous chromosomes, one long and the other short. One haploid set is black, and the other is gray. The circles labeled A to E show various combinations of these chromosomes. What is the correct chromosomal condition for one daughter nucleus at telophase of mitosis?

Consider a population which is changing from one generation to the next as per the equation N(t) = R*N(t-1), where N(t) represents the size of the population at time t and R is a constant growth parameter. Under what condition is the population likely to go extinct?

The demographic transition model depicts demographic changes from high- to low-level births and deaths in five stages

Stage 1 is characterized by total population numbers are low and the high birth rate is balanced by the high death rate.

B) Stage 2 is characterized by high population growth rate is results of high birth rate however, decline death rate

C) Stage 4 is characterized by decline in the proportion of the population in the reproductive age group and these changes stabilizes population size

D) Stage 3 is characterized by falling birth rates and death rates and population growth rate is zero due to the less numbers of people in the reproductive age group
