Joseph lives in a country that lacks basic social infrastructure. moreover, the banking system is not managed properly. the level of education is low. in which type of country is joseph residing? generally, what is the trend of fertility rate in such countries?

The country in which Joseph is living is a least developed country (LDC), also often referred to as a ''third world country''. This type of countries are the countries that are at the bottom in pretty much every parameter used for measuring the quality of the human life. The government and the public institutions are corrupt, and also available for only certain people, the infrastructure is terrible, the industry undeveloped, the economy in dire condition, education is of very low quality...

These types of countries though are the ones that have the highest fertility rates, often the average being between 6 and 8 children per woman. Unfortunately, because of the bad conditions lot of those children die as infants or in the early childhood, on top of that the life expectancy is very low, usually in the range between 40 and 50 years of age.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
