1. In each of the following types of growth, how is the rate of growth (dN/dt) influenced by the population size (N)?Linear:Exponential:Logistic: 2. Note the following data concerning two species of paramecia. The abiotic factors (growth medium, temperature, etc) are identical in all flasks. Is there evidence of competition between […]

A cross in corn is carried out with three linked genes in a triply heterozygous genotype for the alleles pairs (A, a), (D, d), and (R, r). The dominant allele A results in red leaves; aa plants have green leaves. The dominant allele D results in tall plants; dd plants […]

Question: The following effective population sizes were recorded for a population over 5 generations; 100, 120, 17, 40, 88. Estimate the harmonic mean estimate of effective population size for this population?Question: Imagine you have two populations of size N = 4 and N = 20. Allele frequencies in each population are as […]

Assume you are studying 3 traits in tropical fish: black and white striped pattern is completely dominant to solid color. For eye color, brown eyes are dominant to hazel eyes. In fins, ventral fin is dominant to no fin. A cross is performed between a homozygous solid color, brown eye, ventral fin female […]
