What is the effective population size if 40% of the panmictic (=random mating) population of 100 humans are polygamous (i.e., typically having more than one mate) males and the rest are polygamous
Figure 45.2 As this graph shows, population density typically decreases with increasing body size. Why do you think this is the case?
QUESTION 7 You are working on an undergraduate project, studying an insect species. A recent study showed that the pigmentation pattern used for camouflage is made by an enzyme K. However, it has been shown that, when compared to the Kk individuals, the KK homozygotes would have a higher chance of dying from pigment overdose before growing up, while the kk individuals can easily fall to predation before becoming adults. In fact, when compared to the Kk individuals, the estimated selection coefficients for KK and kk are 0.25 and 0.5, respectively. You are interested in what would happen to these alleles. At present, you have conducted a population survey and have 1000 larvae in your collection. Among them, 360 are KK, 480 Kk and 160 kk. How many larvae would survive to adulthood? O 170 O 417 583 750 830 (Following up on Question 7.) What would be the KK genotype frequency at the adult stage? O 0.090 O 0.270 O 0.325 O 0.360 O 0.529 QUESTION 8
If a population has a constant r = 0.3 Group of answer choices the per capita rate of population increase continues to accelerate as the population grows the time necessary for population size to double gets shorter as time goes by since population size is increasing exponentially the absolute increase (change in population size per unit time) is also constant the time necessary for population size to double is also constant

After examining two specific organisms on Movebank.org, consider the movement trends of the two organisms and discuss the importance of this type of data. Consider the resources related to tracking methods and discuss the benefits of this kind of research in understanding and protecting wildlife populations. Is it important to know the details of wildlife populations? Is there a point do where scientists go too far? Share your opinion on the importance of knowing the size of a given population and defend your position.
What is the difference between the exponential (J-shaped) and the logistic growth model (s-shaped)? Select all that apply 0 Small populations grow more slowly in the logistic model because it assumes that there are fewer individuals capable of producing offspring The logistic growth model reaches and inflection point because resources can become limiting in large populations The exponential growth model assumes that there are no limitations of resources on a population no matter how large it gets Carrying capacity is only a component in the exponential growth model, not in the logistic growth model if populations were a metaphor for money, and you wanted to maximize your return on investment, you would choose the logistic growth model
1 Of the three models of population growth, which is the most accurate depiction of a population in a natural environment? exponential model linear model boom-and-bust logistic model
The image represents where you caught each of the deer within your 10-square-mile study area. Based on this, what pattern of population distribution does the local population appear to have? Near-uniform distribution Clumped distribution Random distribution Why might a population distribution like this occur? Because individual deer do not care whether they are close to or far from another deer Because the deer are all gathering around sources of food Because individual deer keep away from one another as much as possible in order to reduce competition
True or false for the following: 1. The frequency of carriers (heterozygotes) in the population would likely be 35%. 2. Based on the gene alone, if you ran into a cat in a dark alley on this island, the odds of it being black would be slightly higher than 50%. 3. A new species of hawk appeared on the island and preferred to eat only brown cat. The hawks ate the brown cats into extinction and then left to find brown cats elsewhere. Brown cats would be extinct on the island and all cats in future generations would be black. 4. If the population is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the brown allele will likely increase in frequency because it is clearly favored.
Which statement is a reasonable inference based on the information in the given graphic? Average Length of Bass Caught Compared with Legal Limit, 1988-2008 40.0- legal limit=20.0 30.0- 20.0- 10.0- 0.0 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 year the larger fish were better able to avoid being caught the population of larger fish was reduced in size the population of smaller fish increased in size the legal limit of fish size decreased average length (inches)
