Question

Population Genetics Procedure: five from beaker #2 and two Remove ten beads (individuals) from beaker #1, from beaker #3. These are the founders of your new population. 1. Record your results and place the beads back in their respective beakers. 2. Repeat this process four more times (five total). Post-Lab Questions 1. What observations can you make regarding the gene pool and gene frequency of the founding individuals? 2. Do these results vary among the populations founded by Beakers #1, #2, and #3? Why or why not? at observations can you make about the genetic variation between the parent and founding populations? 4. Suppose you have a population of 300 butterflies. If the population experiences a net growth of 12% in the following year, how many butterflies do you have? 5. Now suppose you have 300 eggs, but only 70% of those eggs progress to become a caterpillar, and only 80% of the caterpillar progress to become an adult butterfly. How many butterflies do you have? 6. Suppose you have a population of 150 butterflies, but a wildfire devastates he population and only 24 butterflies survive. What percent does the colony decrease by?

Explanation / Answer

For questions 1, 2 &3 , I need additional information.

Let me answer the question No.4

12% of 300 = 25

Hebce, 25 butterflies added to the existing population.

The total number of butterflies is 325

Question No.5

70% of 300 =210...eggs became caterpillar

80% of 210= 168.. caterpillar became butterflies

Now we have 168 butterflies.

Question No.6

150-24 = 126

126/150=0.84 ==>to get percentage multiply with 100

So, the colony decreased by 84%
