The MacArthur-Wilson equilibrium model of island biogeography predicts the number of species found on islands. The figure below depicts two volcanic islands located off a section of mainland coast.

According to  the  MacArthur-Wilson model, the  number of  bird  species present on  Island 2  at  any  one  time is  a function of the relative rates of

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. Has the frequency of allele a changed between Generations 1 and 2?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carries. If the Generation 1 follow the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

a) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to P2

b) there were 500 albino individuals in generation one.

c) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to q2

d) there were 25 albino individuals in generation one.
