Question
Exercise #2 The geneticist on your team alters the Triceratops genome to encourage faster reproduction. Due to her work, the intrinsic growth rate (r) increases from 0.27 to 0.33. Your investors are excited! Use the Excel model to project the growth of the Triceratops population over the next 10 years and compare the trajectory to Exercise #1.

- ויויוי Devin is an 18-year-old high school track athlete who competes in field events. His specialties are the shot put and discus. He was ranked 12th in the state in shot put as a junior. His goal is to win the state championship this year as a senior. He has 6 months to train before the regional and state meets. He plans to gain 5 to 8 pounds of muscle mass in the next 2 months so that during peak training he will be bigger and stronger. However, he has not yet implemented any dietary changes that would initiate the weight gain process. He is 5'11" and weighs 210 pounds.arrow_forwardI need help answering these questions.

How do the genotype frequencies (or number of kittens) among the parents compare to with those of their kittens (2nd generation)? 2. Compare your results to those of another lab group and explain what you see here. Why do you think this is the case? Exer How the l pres A re ac N th 20 3. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? What does that tell you about this population in relation to the 4 conditions needed for equilibrium? Exercise 4.2 Evolving Populations In this part of the exercise, we will use the toothpicks to illustrate the effects of natural selection in our population of cats. In our small town, people don't usually set out food for the cats who live there, because they are fairly unobservant and didn't notice all those solid black cats hiding in the shadows. But now, with the mutation creating white spots on some of the cats, people are noticing these cats and leaving food out. Let's assume that only the cat who's seen actually…arrow_forward
- Q6.4. The graphs below depict hypothesized population dynamics (population size, N, vs. time) for a predator-prey system. Based on what you've learned in this tutorial by investigating moose and wolf population cycles, which graph best represents a predator-prey system, and which curve (blue or red) describes dynamics for the predator species? mm Time ana Time The graph on the left is the best representation, and the predator's curve is blue. The graph on the left is the best representation, and the predator's curve is red. The graph on the right is the best representation, and the predator's curve is blue. The graph on the right is the best representation, and the predator's curve is red.arrow_forwardProblem #4 In the series "Lost" 20 individuals crashed on a deserted island. One of the many alternate realities of that show was that they were never found and started a new population that was completely isolated from the rest of the world. Two of the individuals carried the allele for the recessive time-travel gene. (Hence, they are carriers and are unable to travel through time). No one who crashed on the island was able to travel through time (despite the creators wanting us to think they could). If the frequency of this allele does not change as the population grows, what will be the incidence of the ability to travel through time on the island? (Hint: You are looking for the number of recessives or q.)arrow_forwardSolve 4.arrow_forward
- Pls help ASAParrow_forwardWhat defense benefits do ants provide to acacia trees? What benefits do acacia trees provide ants? Using the graphs below, explain which trends, numbers and changes provide evidence that acacia trees and ants form a mutualistic relationship.

The following weekend, the butterfly traps captured another 87 butterflies, but only one was marked. a) Based on these data, estimate the butterfly population size (show your workings in full). b) Estimate the population size if, instead of one, the number of marked butterflies was: i) 2 ii) 10 iii) 25 You do not need to show your workings for this part. c) Would all of these results give equally accurate estimates of population size? Explain your reasoning. d) The following year, the researcher returned to the same spot, on the same July weekend in order to evaluate whether the butterfly population size was similar year-on-year. This time, however, the recapture phase occurred only three days after marking. Do you think this would affect the accuracy? Explain your answer fully.arrow_forward
