  2. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

    [16] For example, in a closed system where immigration and emigration does not take place, the rate of change in the number of individuals in a population can be described as: = = = =, where N is the total number of individuals in the specific experimental population being studied, B is the number of births and D is the number of deaths per ...

  3. Generation time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_time

    One may then define the generation time as the time it takes for the population to increase by a factor of . For example, in microbiology , a population of cells undergoing exponential growth by mitosis replaces each cell by two daughter cells, so that R 0 = 2 {\displaystyle \textstyle R_{0}=2} and T {\displaystyle T} is the population doubling ...

  4. Alternation of generations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternation_of_generations

    Alternation between a multicellular diploid and a multicellular haploid generation is never encountered in animals. [33] In some animals, there is an alternation between parthenogenic and sexually reproductive phases , for instance in salps and doliolids (class Thaliacea). Both phases are diploid.

  5. Overlapping generations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlapping_generations

    When generation overlapping is incorporated in this model, the substitution rate does change with population size fluctuations. The substitution rate increases when the population size transits from small to large, with a high survival probability and when the population size transits from large to small, with a low survival probability. [11]

  6. Coalescent theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescent_theory

    Coalescent theory is a model of how alleles sampled from a population may have originated from a common ancestor.In the simplest case, coalescent theory assumes no recombination, no natural selection, and no gene flow or population structure, meaning that each variant is equally likely to have been passed from one generation to the next.

  7. Hardy–Weinberg principle - Wikipedia

    where n 11, n 12, n 22 are the observed numbers of the three genotypes, AA, Aa, and aa, respectively, and n 1 is the number of A alleles, where = +. An example Using one of the examples from Emigh (1980), [7] we can consider the case where n = 100, and p = 0.34. The possible observed heterozygotes and their exact significance level is given in ...

    This generation is known for being digital natives, even more so than Gen Z, having been born into a world that is fully integrated with technology, social media and global connection.

  9. Branching process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_process

    The most common formulation of a branching process is that of the Galton–Watson process.Let Z n denote the state in period n (often interpreted as the size of generation n), and let X n,i be a random variable denoting the number of direct successors of member i in period n, where X n,i are independent and identically distributed random variables over all n ∈{ 0, 1, 2, ...} and i ∈ {1 ...
