The q² I received was .49

Population 1000

1. √.49 to get q which is .7

2. Subtract 1 from .7 to get p which is .3

3. Double check that q+p=1

4. Square p to get p² which is .09

5. Multiply p and q together which is .21 then multiply that by 2 which is .42 and that is the answer to 2pq

6. Double check that p²+2pq+q²= 1 

Homozygous dominant individual (p²) = .09

Homozygous recessive individual (q²) = .49

Heterozygous individual (2pq) = .42

Frequency of dominant allele (p) = .3

Frequency of recessive allele (q) = .7

With a population of 1000 you could discover the...

Three possible genotypes:

Homozygous dominant individual (p²) = 90 (multiply .09 by 1000)

Homozygous recessive individual (q²) = 490 (multiply .49 by 1000)

Heterozygous individual (2pq) = 420 (multiply .42 by 1000)

And the...

Frequency of alleles:
Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 30%
Frequency of recessive allele (q) = 70%

California Blackworms

          Using all the data we discussed in class besides my own group's set of data, I calculated the class average per substance. I found the class average for the substances by adding up everyone's day one data for cup A and I divided by the number of values the cup had for day one. I repeated this step for all of the substances for both of the days we collected data leaving me with two averages per substance, one average for day one and the other for day two. I then added the day one and two averages together for A and I repeated this step with B and C. C was found to be the stimulant due to the highest average out of the other two worm cups with 51.1. The depressant is A because the substance had the lowest average of 44. B had an average that was in between A and C with 48.6, therefore it must be neutral.

Three Favorite Ecology Selfies

Non-flying Insect - One summer morning I was walking in the halls of our school PHS and came across a cockroach. The insect was originally in the middle of the hallway but while I was trying to capture a picture with the small bug it quickly made its way to the lockers. Trying to get close to the cockroach was rather difficult.

Mutualism - It was a hot summer day when I was walking down the street of Pittsburg and discovered a butterfly in a flower. I quickly took a picture with the insect before it flew away. 

Community: During the summer I went on an adventure in Concord. I hiked a very steep hill and the weather that day was in the high 90's. When I finally got to the top of the hill I had a good view of the community and captured this neat picture.
