question 72

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) Graph the relationship between the numbers of individuals of different genotypes and
the percent of infected individuals (this will be referred to as Figure 4). Refer to data on population size and percent of individuals infected by genotype. For simplicity, graph all of the data from all of the years on the same plot as points on a scatter graph. Sketch a line that fits the relationship between population size and percent infected.
b) What does this data tell you about the likely relationship between genotype, numbers of individuals, and the percent infected individuals?
