Predictions of carrying capacity of the ecosystem. 3. You are trying to predict the future population size five years

from now of a population of 500 bison that has an intrinsic growth rate of 0.10 per year, but you are not certain of the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. What is the difference in your predictions if the carrying capacity of the ecosystem is 1,500 bison compared to if the carrying capacity is 750 bison?

A. One prediction is ~200 bison higher than the other prediction
B. One prediction is ~50 bison higher than the other
prediction
C. One prediction is ~300 bison higher than the other prediction
D. You predict a similar future population size with either carrying capacity
E. One prediction is ~100 bison higher than the other prediction

The frequency of allele.

/in /by

The frequency of allele. Suppose you have a population of frogs for which a single locus codes for skin color. This genes has two alleles, G for green and g for albino. Homozygous GG individuals are green, heterozygous individuals are green, and homozygous gg individuals are albino. You are told that the frequency of the g allele in the population of frogs is 0.1. Assume that this population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
when answering the questions below, please remember that frequencies are always < 1, and that for every category of frequencies, the number must add up to 1. For example, the allelic frequencies must add up to 1 ; the genotypic frequencies must add up to 1 ; and the phenotypic frequencies must add up to 1.
What is the frequency of he G allele? Express your answer as a frequency ( a number between 0and 1).

1. What is the frequency of the GG genotype? express your answer as a frequency (a number between 0 and 1).
2.what is the frequency of the Gg genotype? express your answer as a frequency (a number between 0 and 1)
3. what is the expected frequency of the gg genotype? express your answer as a frequency (a number between 0 and 1)
4. what is the expected frequency of the albino phenotype? express your answer as a frequency (a number between 0 and 1).
5. what is the expected frequency of the albino phenotype? express your answer as a frequency (a number between 0 and 1)

Trait distribution in a population. Give a complete explanation of how natural selection operates to change the trait distribution in a population(in general and for any trait provided as an example).

Deoxyribonucleic acid in enzyme restriction.

/in /by

Deoxyribonucleic acid in enzyme restriction. How often would a restriction enzyme such as Not I, which has 8 nucleotides in its recognition sites 5′-GCGGCCGC-3′, cleave DNA on average?

Would it cleave a species’ DNA more or less often if the DNA from that species were 70% A-T rich?

The parameters of potential career.

/in /by

The parameters of a potential career. Discuss the parameters of your major and the types of jobs typically associated with it. Use the Kean University Online Library Research Guide for your major or intended field to help you find resources that will allow you to discuss the types of jobs your major could offer, the history of the major or field, and what you will need to accomplish in college to be successful in that career (does your potential career require certain degrees, experiences, grades, etc.?), and anything else you feel is particularly important for someone interested in your potential career to know.

Genomes of different multicellular lineages.

/in /by

What types of gene or protein families may be important for multicellularity?  Can we compare the genomes of different multicellular lineages like animals and plants to identify the most important genes critical for multicellularity?  Why or why not?

 

10) As we have discussed in the lecture, homeotic genes specify the segmental identity and all encode the DNA binding motif called a homeodomain.  In “Endless Forms Most Beautiful” Sean Carroll highlights other master regulatory genes like Pax6, Distal-less, and Tinman that regulate eye, appendage, and heart development respectively.  Each of these genes also encodes the homeodomain DNA binding motif.  1) How do the homeodomain amino acid sequences compare amongst these different types of master regulators?  2) What does this suggest about how these master regulators work?  3) How can genes that encode the same type of motif, a homeodomain, direct the development of such different structures?  Briefly address these three questions based on your reading of “Endless Forms Most Beautiful”.
