Q6.9. A dwindling population of 1000 frogs occupies an isolated area in Costa Rica. To help preserve the species, scientists caught 20 frogs to start a new population in a nearby area. This species has a gene that affects eye shape. The 1000-member wild population has two alleles for this gene: R and r, with frequencies 0.7 and 0.3, respectively. What will be the allele frequencies of R and r in the 20-member founder population? The frequencies will be 0.7 for R and 0.3 for r. The frequencies will be 1.0 for R and 0 for r. The expected frequencies are 0.7 for R and 0.3 for r. The actual frequencies could be different. The founder populations's allele frequencies will necessarily be different than the source population's frequencies.

Q8 -You sample 1000 lizards in a very large population. Every individual you have sampled is brown. You conclude that all lizards in this population are brown. This is deductive reasoning.true or false? -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?
Figure 19.11 Age structure diagrams for rapidly growing, slow growing, and stable populations are shown in stages 1 through 3. What type of population change do you think stage 4 represents?
Chapter 12: Population Dynamics over Time Why do populations fluctuate around the carrying capacity rather than staying smooth as suggested by the logistic growth model? How is this related to growth rate and generation time? Explain how delayed density dependence is related to timing of resources and reproduction. Explain on demographic stochasticity and environmental stochasticity are connected to small population sizes and the Allee effect? What is a metapopulation? Explain source and sink models and stepping stone models. How is a metapopulation’s size and isolation related to extinction and colonization rates?
Need help with 1 and 2: 1.) While studying a population of finches, a researcher notices that the change in population size for the finches after one year is negative. To explain this, the researcher makes a few statements. Which of the following statements about the above population is correct ? A.) The natality rate would have been higher than the mortality rate B.) The rate of immigration would have been higher than the rate of emigration C.) The sum of births and immigration would have been greater than the sum of deaths and emigration . D.) The sum of deaths and emigration would have been greater than the sum of births and immigration 2.) A population of beetles is introduced into an environment where conditions are ideal allowing the beetle population to reach its biotic potential for many generations. This population of beetles shows? A.) logistic growth B.) linear growth C.) per capita growth D.) exponential growth
Scenario 1In the 1960s, a population of squirrels (Sciurus carolensis) was being studied in Alabama and the coat color of the squirrels was found to range from the more common gray color (dominant) to the less common red color (recessive). When they sampled an area, they found 536 gray squirrels and 64 red squirrels. Assume that the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. 3A. Show your work to find the number of heterozygous squirrels.
Q7. In a fixed population, no new member can be added; hence it decreases in size due to deaths or emigration only. True False
Q1: What is selective breeding, and how does it work? Q2: Explain how selective breeding leads to artiﬁcial selection. Q3: Name as many organisms as you can whose current characteristics are due to artiﬁcial selection.
10. How are the influences of El Ñino and La Niña related to the concepts of top-down vs bottom-up control of populations, communities and ecosystems?
5.Consider the population of Ontario in 1867 (1.5 million) and the population today (13 million). What factors do you think have contributed to a longer lifespan for individuals within this population? What factors have contributed to changes in family sizes? Do you think the lifespan of the average adult is expected to increase for the next few generations? Explain your answers
37. When 2 different species are competing for a resource, in the absence of other factors, one will usually win because the competition is asymmetrical. That is because: One species usually cheats. Populations have different numbers of individuals. Different species have different morphologies (how they look) and physiologies (how they function). All of the choices are true.
1. Discuss some limitations of the mark and recapture method. 2. Discuss reasons why population numbers would be important and how this data could be used to manage wildlife populations.
Scenario part 2 Imagine you, a researcher, return to this same population after 30 years and you see blue, green, yellow, and orange frogs. Questions part 2 name 1 key agent of microevolution that could be responsible for the appearance of orange frogs in this population. (just 1) name 1 key agent of microevolution that could NOT be responsible for the appearance of orange frogs in this population (just 1)
