Welcome to the 2018 Ecology Question Marathon!
1) List 2 adaptations of plants in the grassland and 2 of those in the desert.
2) Define ecosystem service, and provide an example.
3) Describe the role of fire in the Savanna.

Planned on making one of these cause I never saw it.
1. Grassland: deep root systems and flexible stalks. Desert: waxy coatings and photosynthetic stem.
2. The free benefits humans get from an ecosystem. An example is a clean source of water.
3. Fire helps to maintain the open vegetation structure

I'm pretty sure that's correct,but how about having more water absorbing body's for the desert as an adaptation. :geek:

I guess I’ll give a question then.

Given a species is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and has two alleles, H and W, where the frequency of H is 32%, what proportion of the population is heterozygous HW?

2*0.32*0.68 = 0.4352, so rounding to 2 significant figures, 44% of the population is heterozygous HW.

Correct! Your turn.

A population has 250 individuals at the start of a 3-year monitoring period. By the end of the monitoring period, 12 individuals emigrate from the population, 23 individuals join the population, 17 individuals die and 26 individuals are born. What is the average annual growth rate?

The average annual growth rate is 0.08 (percent??? what's the units??)
