1. This question may be completed independently or as a group exercise. Biological anthropologists disagree about the best way to classify the robust australopithecines. Describe the two approaches to classifying these species. Which classification do you support

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Some researchers classify Australopithecines into gracile australopithecines and robust australopithecines, while others argue that differences are enough strong to classify robust australopithecines in their own genus called 'Paranthropus'. In my opinion, it seems reasonable to obtain more fossil data in order to support this division  

Explanation:

The term Australopithecines comes from the genus Australopithecus, which are the closest known relatives of our genus Homo, and arose around three (3) million years ago. Australopithecines can be classified into two major groups called gracile australopithecines and robust australopithecines. However, robust australopithecines have also been classified in their own genus, Paranthropus, in order to distinguish them from the gracile australopithecines. The major differences between gracile and robust species are associated with facial and cranial features. Paranthropus species had a large sagittal crest, enormous cheek teeth, robust jaws, and strong jaw muscles (suggesting they were herbivores that ate tough food). However, these main features may not be conclusive evidence that supports the separation of Paranthropus in its own clade, thereby in my opinion it should be reasonable to wait until more fossils are found in order ​to correctly classify Paranthropus species as a different group.

What is the per capita growth rate of a population of frogs that has a per capita birth rate of 1 frog and a per capita death rate of 2 frogs?
a. 1
b. 2
c. -1
d. 0

Answers

Answer:

c. -1

Explanation:

When 1 frog is born, 2 frogs die, so it is +1 and -2.

Add them together to get the answer: 1 + -2 = -1

The per capita growth rate of a population of frogs that has a per capita birth rate of 1 frog and a per capita death rate of 2 frogs is -1. The correct option is C.

What is the growth rate?

The growth rate is the specific rate of change of the variables of a specific place and specific time. Growth rate is calculated by collected data of a place, and it is compared to the former population.

The growth rate of frog is here given, the growth rate is also depended upon the death rate of the population, death rate is subtracted by the population

The per capita growth rate is 1

The per capita death rate is 2

When 1 frog is born, 2 frogs die, so it is +1 and -2.

Adding them together:

1 + -2 = -1

Thus, the correct option is c. -1.
