1. Of what is FST a measure? What are some problems with this measurement?
Fixation index (Fst) is an measure of genetic differences among subpopulations. Measures how genetically similar two populations are to each other. (is this correct)
Some problems with this measurement ????
2. What is sexual selection? What is natural selection? Define relative fitness
Sexual selection - selecting a mating partner from the opposite sex based on certain traits and competion of the same sex for finding a mating partner.
Natural selection - organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring
Relative fitness - is the ratio of surviving offspring or one genotype compared with other genotypes in the population.
3. In which cases is it better to use Sanger sequencing over second-generation sequencing? In which cases is it better to use second-generation sequencing over sanger sequencing?

1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a
parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite
resistant genotype that spreads through the population through
natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in
a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy
genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this
host parasite “arms race”.?

Under nearly all circumstances, postzygotic reproductive
isolation cannot evolve under the direct action of natural
selection. Instead, postzygotic isolation evolves as a by-product
of other genetic changes as proto-species diverge. In contrast,
natural selection can directly act to enhance prezygotic
reproductive isolation. Consider two species with overlapping
ranges. If hybrids between the species are less fit than pure
species individuals, females that mated with heterospecific males
would be at a selective disadvantage, because their resulting
offspring had low fitness....

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
