Question
Chapter 56.2, Problem 1EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reasons which led to the study conducted by Murie on the Dall mountain sheep population of Denali National Park.
Introduction: Denali National Park which is situated in Alaska is an American national park. It gets its name as Denali because the park is centered on Denali which is the highest mountain in North America. This park is a home for many species including Dall Mountain sheep.

Can you explain the answers and the advanatges of the Lineweaver-Burk Graph vs. Michaelis-Menten?
Jean Manning, Charles Kerfoot, and Edward Berger studied
genotypic frequencies at the phosphoglucose isomerase (GPI) locus in
the cladoceran Bosmina longirostris (a small crustacean known as a
water flea). They collected 176 of the animals from a single location in
Union Bay in Seattle, Washington, and determined their GPI genotypes
by using electrophoresis (J. Manning, W. C. Kerfoot, and E. M. Berger.
1978. Evolution 32:365-374).

- I believe that the correct answer is: p^2+2pq+q^2=1 I just want to make sure that I am understanding the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium correctly.arrow_forwardA researcher is studying two fly populations. Population A have stubbly bristles that are shorter and blunter than population B and are ebony coloured with black bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a certain allele for the stubble gene which affects bristle length and homozygous for the ebony gene which affects body colour. Population B have longer tapered bristles than population A and are not stubbly in appearance. They are not ebony and have brown bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a different gene that affects bristle length to population A and are homozygous for the gene that affects body colour. Table 1: F1 ebony flies - 0 F1 non-ebony flies - 560 F1 stubble flies - 560 F1 non-stubble flies - 0 Draw two separate Punnett Squares to illustrate the P1 cross - one for the stubbly alleles and one for the ebony alleles showing the individual gametes of each parent and the combination in the resulting F1 offspring.arrow_forward8% of XY individuals are color blind in a population.
