Essay

Refer to the figure.
Figure 1
The figure shows data collected on a species of fish that lives on a coral reef. The fish were captured and studied three times-in 2000, 2005, and 2010. Four genotypes were found in an area of the coral reef (shown as A, B, C, and D). The figure shows: (1) the number of individuals of each genotype captured during each year, and (2) the percent of individuals infected with parasites captured during each year.
-Answer the following questions:
a) How does population size change over time for each of the four genotypes?
b) How does the percent of infected individuals change over time for each of the four genotypes?
c) Based on the percent of infected individuals of each genotype in each year, calculate the numbers of infected individuals. Create a new graph (this will be referred to as Figure 2) that reflects this data using the Figure 1 left, with each column reflecting a height that indicates the number of infected individuals.
d) What is the average infection rate across all genotypes for each study year? Create another new graph (this will be referred to as Figure 3) that reflects this data using Figure 1 right. Use an asterisk (*) to indicate the average infection rate for each year. Next, calculate the average of the average infection rate and add this data to the graph as a horizontal dotted line
