How  does inefficient transfer of energy among trophic  levels result in  the typically  high  endangerment status of many top predators?

#Section 4: Behavioural Ecology
  1. Top-level predators are destined to have small populations that are sparsely distributed. 
  2. Predators have relatively large population sizes.
  3. Predators are more disease-prone than animals at lower trophic levels.
  4. Predators have short life spans and short reproductive periods.

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?
