The pesticide DDT was widely used in the 1940s as a method of insect control. In the late 1950s the first DDT-resistant mosquitoes were discovered, and eventually DDT-resistant mosquitoes were found globally. When DDT is used now, the development of DDT resistance in mosquito populations occurs in months rather than years.Which of the following best explains the observations concerning DDT resistance in mosquitoes?* nd 2 chool The proportion of DDT-resistant mosquitoes in a population remains constant due to O the metabolic costs of DDT utilization DDT is a chemical signal that delays normal reproductive cycles in many mosquito populations. Natural selection favors DDT-resistant mosquitoes that are already present in a population when DDT exposure occurs. Competition for limited resources causes mosquitoes to migrate to geographical areas that have richer supplies of DDT. A population of 1.492 finches is intróduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches show a death rate of…
Drosophila hemipeza is an endangered fruit fly that is only found on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and known from seven localities. Larvae feed on rotting bark of Urera kaalae, an endangered plant that lives on slopes and gulches. In 2004, only 40 individual U. kaalae were known to remain. Assume a generation time of 0.1 and an effective/adult ratio of 0.012 for D. hemipeza. A: Assuming that each plant can support 100 adult D. hemipeza, if the plant population is maintained at 40 individuals does D. hemipeza face a significant loss (>10%) of genetic diversity over the following 10 years? B: If not, how many plants should be added to meet the conservation goals for D. hemipeza?
The calculated chi-square value which is 0 is less than the critical value which is 5.991 (under the degree of freedom 2). What is the probability of the computed chi-square value? And is it part of the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Design a simple, manipulative experiment to test the hypothesis that synthetic fertilizers in the environment influence the population density of the salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum. Your experiment can have no fewer than two treatments and no more than four. State your hypothesis. Briefly describe your experiment. Address the following: Is it a field or lab experiment? What are the treatments, how are they set up, and what differentiates them? How many replicates of each treatment will there be? What are the standardized conditions of your experiment? C. Identify the independent variable, including units, in your experiment. D. Identify the dependent variable, including units, in your experiment. E. Identify at least one control treatment and explain its specific role in the experiment.
In normal plants, the probability that an offspring of a heterozygous parent is heterozygous is 0.5. If the survival of heterozygous offspring differs from that of homozygous offspring, the probability that a surviving offspring is heterozygous may not be equal to 0.5. For the following values of the probability, write a discrete-time dynamical system for the fraction of heterozygous offspring over time, find the solution, and compute the fraction that will be heterozygous after ten generations. How does this compare with the fraction for a normal plant? The probability that an offspring is heterozygous is 0.6.

A population with three life-stages separated by 3 years is modelled by a Leslie matrix, resulting in these predictions. The x-axis shows the number of time steps in the vector dynamics from the Leslie matrix multiplication. How many years before the long-term dynamics take over? a) 0 b) 2 c) 5 d) 15 What is the long term prediction for this population? a) decreases to zero b) anything could happen c) increases to infinity d) stable If the population started with many more animals and in different proportions from each life stage, would the prediction be the same or different? If the population started with many more animals and in different proportions from each life stage, in the long term dynamics what would be the ratio of newborns (stage 1) to youths (stage 2) to adults (stage 3). a) about 1 to 1 to 1 b) about 4 to 2 to 1 c) about 6 to 3 to 1 d) no way to judge
