Recognize that populations vary in gene frequency, age distribution, sex ratio, size, and density.- State how age distribution, sex ratio, and density can affect the rate of population growth.
Understand why the size of a population tends to increase.- Describe and draw the stages of a typical population growth curve.
- Identify key components that cause population growth.
- Identify the factors that ultimately limit population size.
- State the importance of the birthrates and deathrates to population growth.
Recognize that human populations obey the same rules of growth as populations of other types of organisms.- State why the human population must have an upper limit.
- List methods that would effectively control human population size.
