The term Ys , called the solute potential or the osmotic potential, represents the effect of dissolved solutes on water potential,

a) The mixing of solutes and water reduces the disorder of the system and thereby lowers free energy

b) Solutes reduce the free energy of water by diluting the water

c) The mixing of solutes and water increases the disorder of the system and thereby lowers free energy

d) Solutes increases the free energy of water by diluting the water

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?
