1. A petri dish is inoculated with a single bacterium and theintrinsic rate of increase for the species is 0.5.
a. What will the size of the population be after 10generations?
b. How often will the population double, if the rate of increaseremains constant?
c. If the petri dish can hold one million bacteria, what willthe rate of increase be after 25 generations?
d. The rate of resource use by the first species is 2units/individual. A second species is added to the petri dish thatuses resources at a rate of 3 units/individual and has a carryingcapacity of 750,000. What will be the end result of adding in thesecond species of bacteria (i.e., will one species out-compete theother or will they co-exist)?
