CBSE class 12th biology notes Population and Population Growth

CBSE class 12th biology notes Population and Population Growth

There are four variables/ causes that govern the population growth/population size:
  1. Birth rate(Natality): It is defined as a number of births per 1000 individuals in one year.
  2. Death rate (Mortality): It is defined as a number of death per 1000 individuals per year.
  3. Immigration: Entry of individuals in a given population.
  4. Emigration: Exit of individuals from a given population.
A population gains individuals by birth and immigration and loses them by deaths and emigration.
Thus, population change = (Births + Immigration) – (Deaths + Emigration)
Effect of Age Distribution on Population growth
In many organisms, the generations overlap. It is shown, from a theoretical point of view, that competition between the different ages classes in such organisms will have important population dynamics consequences. Strong competition between age classes can be either a stabilizing or destabilizing force depending on the stage of the life cycle—juvenile survival or adult survival/reproduction—at which density dependence occurs. When juvenile survival is density dependent, competition has a stabilizing effect. On the other hand, when reproduction is density dependent, strong competition tends to be destabilizing, i.e. it will cause population density to fluctuate. It is also shown that delayed effects on reproduction, caused by strong competition as the adults grow up, tend to be destabilizing. These findings have interesting implications for the population dynamic behavior in organisms with different types of life cycles, and these theoretical findings might be relevant to the interpretation of patterns of population dynamic behavior.

Lessons-Worksheets-Question Papers-CBSE Class 2 English CBSE 2nd Class English – One and Many  In this blog, we share the spelling rules used in the concept of  One  and Many. When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a  singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the  plural . We can add  –S, -es, -ves or ies  to show that there is more than one noun.  For example,  we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of  Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use  s , es, ves or ies  in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with  –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss  form plurals by taking  –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

PURCHASED GOODWILL METHOD UNDER IND AS 103

The acquisition of subsidiaries results in  Goodwill calculation  and also records net assets of the subsidiary at fair value on the date of acquisition. Let’s get answers to all the questions related to Goodwill, valuation of NCI, and impairment relating to them. Q1 – What are the ways in which an entity can make payment for purchase consideration? ANS: – Cash – Share exchange – Deferred payment – Contingent consideration Q2 – How is deferred payment dealt, when it forms part of purchase consideration? ANS:  The deferred payment is discounted to present value and included in the cost of consideration. At the end of each year, the liability is increased by unwinding the discount, until the payment is settled. For example, An amount of Rs. 108,000 was deferred to be paid after 2 years. The discount rate applicable is 8%. The net present value today of Rs. 108,000 is equal to (108,000 * 1) / (1.08) ^2)= Rs. 92,593 included in purchase consideration. A liability of Rs. 92,59...
