Answer:

This exercise is incomplete, missing the value of k (decay constant), which is equal to 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹ at 25°C

The answer is 0.549 years

Explanation:

Given:

first order of reaction

k = 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹

For a first order of reaction, the half-life time for the degradation of DDT is equal to:

t=\frac{0.693}{k} =\frac{0.693}{4x10^{-8} } =17325000s=0.549years

A population in which the frequency of alleles remains the same over generations is said to be in genetic equilibrium. Describe
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Natural selection disrupts the genetic equilibrium by favoring the genes for the traits that impart survival advantage to individuals.

Explanation:

Natural selection refers to the unequal survival rate of individuals of a population due to the presence of some beneficial adaptive genetic trait. These individuals are able to survive more and leave more progeny. Over generations, the population has increased number of these individuals leading to evolution of a population with different allele frequencies.  

For example, the frequency of gene for antibiotic resistance in the bacterial population was increased once humans started using antibiotics to control the bacterial population. This led to the evolution of the bacterial population with antibiotic resistance.
