Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The generation time (G) for given population by completing the last column of the given Table 1.

Given:

An incomplete cohort life table is provided, from which the components given in column 5 is to be calculated.

Table 1: A life table of Australian sharpnose shark showing survivorship and fecundity.

Age (x) Survivorship of females (lx) Fecundity of female offspring (mx) lx mx x lx mx

Introduction:

The generation time of a cohort is considered as the average age of the individuals who have produced or are expected to produce offspring in a cohort. It can be calculated by the sum of (x lx mx) divided by the reproductive rate, R0 of the population.

Determine whether the following two sets of datarepresent populations that are in Hardy–Weinbergequilibrium. Sickle-cell hemoglobin: SS, 75.6 percent; Ss, 24.2 percent;ss, 0.2 percent (S = normal hemoglobin allele; s =mutant hemoglobin allele)
List and explain the assumptions and uses of the Hardy-Weinberg Principle. Provideexamples (and data) for uses of HW.
Using a chi-square analysis attached below, determine whether the following population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
