Researchers monitored an isolated population of a rare species of orchid (Isotriamedeoloides) and counted the number of flowering (breeding) individuals each year forsix years.Year # breeding individuals2018 152019 172020 252021 162022 112023 12a. What is the effective population size of this population of orchids? Round youranswer to a whole number.b.  What proportion of the original heterozygosity would you expect to remain inthis population of orchids after another 10 generations?   Please show all work proportion of original heterozygosity remaining = Ht/H0 = (H1)t = [1-(1/2Ne)]teffective population size = Ne = [4(Nf*Nm)]/(Nf + Nm)effective population size = Ne = t/(1/N1 + 1/N2 + ... + 1/Nt)

Two closely related Aster species occupy two different habitats. The first one (Aster 1) lives in a temperate forest understory that experiences few disturbances but intense competition for light. The second (Aster 2) lives in a prairie environment that experiences frequent disturbances such as fires, grazing, and droughts. Which species do you expect to have larger seeds? Which species do you expect to produce more seeds? O Aster 1 has larger and more seeds than Aster 2 O Aster 2 has larger and more seeds than Aster 1 Aster 1 has smaller and more seeds than Aster 2 Aster 2 has smaller and more seeds than Aster 1 O Aster 1 has smaller and fewer seeds than Aster 2 O Aster 2 has smaller and fewer seeds than Aster 1

Scientists studying reproduction compared three closely related species of bagworm moths. The reproductive methods for these species are given in the table. Which of the following research questions would provide additional information about the population level impacts of meiosis and sexual reproduction? A - How do the number of D. charlottae offspring compare with the number of S. rupicolella offspring? B - Do D. charlottae and S. rupicolella populations express greater genetic diversity than D. fennicella populations? C - Are the offspring of D. fennicella genetically unique compared to the offspring of D. charlottae and S. rupicolella? D - Does crossing-over in D. fennicella result in increased genetic variation compared to D. charlottae and S. rupicolella?

Consider the 4 lines of data to be from the life tables of various species. Each one represents a different age class, and they report values for lx, dx, qx, and bx. Again, they are from different species. Which of the 4 choices would you say belongs to the species with the most intense age specific mortality?     Group of answer choices l4 = 711, d4 = 211, q4 = 0.723, b4 = 0.98 l1 = 549, d1 = 242, q1 = 0.613, b1 = 0.08 l2 = 267, d2 = 199, q2 = 0.214, b2 = 1.28 l3 = 915, d3 = 377, q3 = 0.357, b3 = 2.90
