Agricultural lands frequently require nutritional supplementation because

#Section 5: Applied Ecology & Evolution
  1. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and detrivores do not cycle nutrients as effectively as they do on wild lands. 
  2. The nutrients that enter the plants are not returned to the soil on lands where they are harvested. 
  3. The prairies that comprise good agricultural land tend to be nutrient-poor.
  4. Grains raised for feed must be fortified, and thus require additional nutrients.

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?
