A two-stage chemostat system is used for production of secondary metabolite. The volume of each reactor is 0.5 m3; the flow rate of feed is 50 l h- 1. Mycelial growth occurs in the first reactor; the second reactor is used for product synthesis. The concentration of substrate in the feed is 10 gl-1. Kinetic and yield parameters for the organism are:

                                                        

Assume that product synthesis is negligible in the first reactor and growth is negligible in the second reactor. What is the final concentration of product?

In a typical Mendelian population, individuals carrying gene ‘a’ in homozygous condition suffer from phenylketonurea. Those with A in homozygous condition are normal. Others, who are heterozygotic with Aa, are carriers. If the frequency of ‘a’ in a population is 0.20, what is the percentage of normal individual in the population?

A population of insects is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene with alleles A = orange and a = yellow eyes. There are 91% orange and 9% yellow individuals in the population. If the fitness of the yellow phenotype suddenly drops to zero, what will be the allele frequency in the next generation?
