In the diploid ancestor of our modern bread wheat (triticum aestivum), resistance to a particular fungal pathogen is controlled by a dominant allele at a single locus. assume that a population of this diploid wheat is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium and that the frequency of the dominant (resistance) allele is 0.51. in each of the following parts, we suggest carrying your answer to three decimal places.

a) what proportion (decimal value) of the population is phenotypically resistant to the pathogen?

b) assume that all susceptible individuals in this population are eventually killed by fungal infections before they reproduce. what is the frequency of the recessive (susceptibility) allele among the survivors? (hint: count the alleles)

c) assume that the surviving plants cross-pollinate randomly and that each plant produces the same number of seeds. what proportion of the seeds produced will eventually become plants that are susceptible to the fungus?

Which best explains why there are 64 possible codons in the genetic code and only 20 amino acids that make protiens of living organisms on earth

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
