Green (G) is dominant to yellow (g) in a population of Yahara minnows at Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. 49% of the Yahara minnows are yellow. Due to more frequent algal blooms, the fitness of the yellow Yahara minnows has declined to only 25% of the fitness of the green Yahara minnows. What is the frequency of the yellow (g) allele after one complete generation of selection with random mating? If applicable, report exactly 4 significant digits.

In your biology lab you are growing brine shrimp under 3 different conditions (cultures A, B, and C). Every day you pull out a sample and count the brine shrimp and, from that, estimate the number of brine shrimp in your full culture. You graph your data as shown below. Select which culture(s)’ growth  is/are described by each of the following statements: Has the largest “r” value [ans1] Shows the effects of intraspecific competition [ans2] Might have a carrying capacity of 20,000 [ans3] Has the smallest “r” value [ans4] Growth described by the equation dN/dt= rN((K-N)/K) [ans5]
