Suppose all sex-changing fish are  from coral reef habitats. You discover a wild-caught sex-changing fish in a fish store. You conclude that this fish was harvested from a coral reef. This is inductive reasoning. true or false?  -Populations that live in areas with high ecological mortality reproduce at younger ages than similar species living in areas with low ecological mortality. You decide to run an experiment comparing two populations. The environment of population 1 has many predators, parasites, and pathogens; the environment of population 2 is free of predators, etc. You predict that population 1 will reproduce at a younger age than population 2. This is deductive reasoning. true or false?

As we saw last week, population size is important. Ideally, this means you started with a lot of genetically diverse founders, but of course that isn’t always the case. In the case of the Española Galapagos tortoises it was 12 females and 2 males. So, often you have to grow your population to stabilize it and ensure there isn’t an unacceptable loss of genetic diversity over time, even if that genetic diversity is low. If you think back to the math from last week and do a little not so fancy algebra, you can see that genetic deterioration occurs at a rate that is the inverse of genetic retention, which you probably remember is  1- (1/2Ne) Assume that the Española Galapagos tortoise captive population started with an Ne/N ratio of 0.7. Calculate their rate of loss of genetic diversity given their original population size of 14 tortoises (N=14). You will first need to solve for Ne, then plug Ne into the rate of loss of genetic diversity formula. Now let’s work on growing the population.…

Using scenario 1 describe wheter the B allele frequency, and R allele frequency will increase, decrease, increase and decrease or remain the same

I need help with this question

Why would you not want to harvest to a point where salmon populations are kept at very low numbers? Select true or false for each answer. small populations [ Choose ] are more likely to go extinct do to unforeseen (stochastic) events small populations [ Choose ] are more likely to lose genetic diversity small populations Choose ] are more susceptible to inbreeding depression small populations [ Choose ] are not growing very quickly so you would have low fishing yields

Scenario 2In the year 2015, another group of scientists studied the squirrel coat color and found that the population of squirrels had increased. They found 850 squirrels in the same area, of which 115 had a red coat. Assume that the population is in Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium. 5B. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?(Put your answer here rounded to the nearest hundredth)

When assortative mating increases for a trait in a population, the number of phenotypically discordant pairs phenotypic correlation between mates also increases.

What role does ecology play in shaping themating systems of populations?   my only go to theory right now is that it dictates mating systems but what else?

A population of 1,000 wild turkeys is studied and observed by scientists on an island. The scientists construct a study over five years to observe the temperature, amount of precipitation, the daily value of berries individually consumed that were their exclusive food source, mating patterns, and available habitat for nesting. The scientists determined that as the climate changed, the population began to decrease. Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium as a null hypothesis, which statement would support the alternative hypothesis? No change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because the population size is large. A change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because natural selection occurred due to the change in climate. No change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because mutations will not occur as a result of climate change. A change in the allele frequency of the population was observed because mating is random.
