In some species of beetles, resistance to particular pesticides is a dominant trait. To measure selection on populations after exposure to pesticide, you first establish a population consisting of a mix of resistant and non-resistant individuals and let beetles interbreed freely until you have a very large population of many […]

Using the papers and the textbooks as references, discuss survival rates and what would you expect the incident rates to be among men […]
Determine the pH for 100 mL of a 0.4 M solution of acetic acid that has been diluted with 100 mL of water (Ka for acetic acid = 1.74 * 10^-5 M). Determine the pH when 100 mL of 0.15 M NaOH is added to 250 mL of 0.25 M […]
