What is Generation Time?

Generation time refers to the average time between the birth of an individual and the birth of its offspring. It is an important measure in population biology and genetics, as it helps in understanding the growth rate and reproductive patterns of a population.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Generation Time:

\[ GT = \frac{100}{5} = 20 \text{ hours/generation} \]

This means that the generation time for this example is 20 hours per generation.
