#Section 2: Evolution

Consider a population which is changing from one generation to the next as per the equation N(t) = R*N(t-1), where N(t) represents the size of the population at time t and R is a constant growth parameter. Under what condition is the population likely to go extinct?

One population X has 750 AA, 0 Aa, and 250 aa; the other Y has 500 AA, 500 Aa, and 0 aa. After one generation of random mating, the genotype frequencies X and Y respectively if the population size remains 1,000.

#Section 3: Mathematics and Quantitative Ecology

In a past General Social Survey, a random sample of men and women answered the question “Are you a member of any sports clubs?” Based on the sample data, 95% confidence intervals for the population proportion who would answer “yes” are .13 to .19 for women and .247 to .33 for men. Based on these results, you can reasonably conclude that
