In the country of Kong, if the birth rate is 22 and the death rate is 9, what is the annual rate of natural population change? Is this high or low? Explain. In how many years will the population double if the growth rate stays constant, and migration is not a factor? Is that high, low, or medium? Explain. The total fertility rate of Kong is 2.5. Is that high, low, or medium? Explain. Suppose you knew the age structure of the country, especially the percentage of people under the age of 15. Of what use is that information?

Always use significant figure rules. remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. a car travels 6 miles north, 3 miles east, and then 2 miles south. what is the distance traveled? a.7 b.11

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning.
