Summary Introduction

Ecology is the study of relationships between an organism and its environment. The abundance and distribution of earth are formed by both abiotic (physical or non-living) and biotic factors (living organism). It also has practical uses in wetland management, energy conservation, human social interaction, economics, and community health.

Explanation of Solution

Difference between Metapopulation and population:

MetapopulationPopulation
The collection of populations or population of populations or groups of groups are called as metapopulation that is made up of identical or same species. In metapopulation, every subgroup is separated from all other subgroups.

The number of entire organisms of the similar species or group which reproduce and survive in a specific time and place is known as a population. A population has an ability of interbreeding.

Metapopulation theory has three essential components include colonization, dispersal, and extinction.

Size, range, and density are three key features that define a population.

Example: Population of coral reef fishes and butterfliesExample: People living in New York City is over eight million.

Humans consider themselves amazingly clever and innovative, constantly developing "new" ways of altering the world around us. As material consumption has increased, many have turned to the ideas of recycling and reuse as a means to minimize some negative aspects of our modern consumerism. Mother Nature though is the ultimate innovator and, more importantly, the ultimate recycler.
H gene assorts independently from the I gene. Both on autosomes. One man and one woman, both of HhIAIB genotype. Determine the blood type of progeny and fractions out of 16
Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible.  Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…
