The number of voting members of the U. S. House of Representatives has been 435 since March 4, 1913. The only time it is different is between the addition of a new state to the Union and the subsequent reapportionment.

What is the Ratio of representatives to population?

Since 1911 there hasn't been a "fixed ratio" used to determine the number of Representatives (e.g. 1 Representative per 10,000 people). The total number of Representatives was set at 433 plus 1 each for New Mexico and Arizona when they joined the union. The total number of Representatives has been 435 since then. (There was a temporary increase to 437 at the time of admission of Alaska and Hawaii as States.) We now use a "fixed house size" method to figure the number of Representatives. This means that a State's number of Representatives will increase or decrease after each census; BUT not based on a fixed ratio. A very good explanation is given on the US Census Bureau's website (http://www.census.gov/population/www/censusdata/apportionment/files/apportn.pdf) this is a PDF document titled, "Apportionment of the U.S. House of Representatives". (This title is in the Related Links section; just click it to go to the document.) I took my answer from there.

Without specific details, it is impossible to determine the exact ratio of kernel phenotype. However, the ratio can be calculated by assessing the number of kernels with different phenotypes and then comparing them. Each phenotype's frequency divided by the total number of kernels will determine the ratio.

Why does Pennsylvania have 20 electoral votes?

Pennsylvania appoints 20 electors because Pennsylvania is entitled to a total Congressional representation of 20, 2 in the Senate and 18 in the House of Representatives. Pennsylvania is allowed 18 House members because the ratio of the U. S. population to Pennsylvania's population is about the same as the ratio of 435, the total number of seats in the House, to 18.
