Test your prediction

Set number of phenotypes to 2. 

Set %-resource-distribution to 20%. 

Run the model for 5000 ticks, using the speed slider at the top of the model to make it run faster if necessary. Note your observations in the space provided below the model. Then run the model for really long time (more than 100,000 ticks). Note your observations again.

Explain your observations by answering the questions below. Let's focus on the left region while you answer these questions.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

What were your observations when you ran the model for 5000 ticks? Explain those observations.

What were your observations when you ran the model for really long time (more than 25,000 ticks)? Explain those observations.

A scientist has run this simulation for 25,000 ticks and has come up with the following plots. You could use these graphs below to answer this question.

If you repeat the same computational experiment again, will you get the same results? Explain your answer.
