1.) In a population two alleles for a particular locus are D and d. The allele frequency of D is 0.8. What would the frequency of heterozygotes be if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Question 105 options:
   
0.64

   
0.32

   
0.4

   
0.16

2.) The moose population of a study area at the beginning of the year was 500. If there were 35 births and 5 deaths throughout the year, what was the per capita growth rate for the moose population during the year?

Question 118 options:

2PQ = Answer

P + Q = 1

0.8 + Q = 1

Q = 0.2

2(0.8)(0.2) = 0.32

Use this logic:

Question
You are studying a population of white-tailed deer. The population size is 500 individuals. During the last season there were 100 births and 50 deaths in that population. What is the per capita growth rate for this population during that year?

#

A. 0.10
#

B. 0.50
#

C. 50
#

D. -0.20
#

E. 1.0

Answer
500 start
550 end (100-50=50)
----------
50 increase

50/500 = 1/10 = 10%
