Stoichiometric equations are used to represent growth of microorganisms provided a ' molecular formula' for the cells is available. The molecular formula for biomass is obtained by measuring the amounts of C, N, H, O and other elements in cells. For a particular bacterial strain, the molecular formula was determined to be C4.4H7.30 1.2N0.86 . These bacteria are grown under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. The reaction equation describing growth is:

                                    

Assuming 100% conversion, what is the yield of cells from oxygen in g g-l?

A parent population (P) is change into daughter populations (Q) which grow in habitats. After 1000 generations, the equilibrium frequency distribution of of the daughter populations is shown in the figure below. For reference, the vertical line represents the mean of the parent population. Which type of natural selection?
