Figure 1.15 Example of error bars in a graph. This graph was adapted from the peacock butterfly research described in Section 1.5. The researchers recorded the number of times each butterfly flicked its wings in response to an attack by a bird. The squares represent average frequency of wing flicking for each sample set of butterflies. The error bars that extend above and below the dots indicate the range of valuesthe sampling error. Figure It Out: What was the fastest rate at which a butterfly with no spots or sound flicked its wings?
What would it mean if apredator removal experiment yielded theopposite results from those shown in Figure 54.5—that is, numbersof surviving moths increased where predators were not removed?
Honey bees are visiting two food sites, A and B, at 6 AM in the morning, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Bees at site A are collecting pollen; those at site B are collecting nectar. When bees from site A return to the nest, they must find a cell in the wax combs and store the pollen (Fig. 3). Bees from site B pass their nectar to young Receiver Bees when they return to the nest (Fig. 4). 1. True or False: At 6 AM, foragers for site A would orient their waggle runs 40 degrees to the left of vertical on the combs. 2. Ture or False: At 6 AM, foragers for site B would orient their waggle runs 105 degrees to the right of vertical. 3. True or Flase: If foragers are still visiting site A at 10 AM, their waggle runs would be oriented 100 degrees to the left of vertical.

You are working on an undergraduate project, studying an insect species. A recent study showed that the pigmentation pattern used for camouflage is made by an enzyme K. However, it has been shown that, when compared to the Kk individuals, the KK homozygotes would have a higher chance of dying from pigment overdose before growing up, while the kk individuals can easily fall to predation before becoming adults. In fact, when compared to the Kk individuals, the estimated selection coefficients for KK and kk are 0.25 and 0.5, respectively. You are interested in what would happen to these alleles. At present, you have conducted a population survey and have 1000 larvae in your collection. Among them, 360 are KK, 480 Kkand 160 kk. 1)How many larvae would survive to adulthood a) 170 b) 414 c)583 d)750 e)830 2)Following up the previous question, what would be the KK genotype frequency at the adult? a) 0.090 b) 0.270 c) 0.325 d) 0.360 e) 0.529 3)Following up on the previous question,…

Background Information: Before the industrial revolution, the trees in the forest around Manchester, England were a light grey/green due to the color of lichens (fungus) on their trunks. Peppered moths, or Biston betularia, which lived in the area were found in two varieties: 1) Light with dark spots (most common) and 2) Dark with light spots (less common). Because there were not enough resources to support the entire population, the two varieties of this species had to compete for survival. Their coloring, when against a similar background, served as camouflage against predators such as birds and lizards, thus increasing chances of survival. As the Industrial Revolution progressed, the trees became covered with sulfur dioxide, which killed the light-colored lichen and thus turning the tree trunks dark. Problem Questions: Choose only 1 question below to answer in an “If…then” hypothesis. What will happen to the number of light-colored peppered moths as the trees began to darken?…
Question:- What is a plausible hypothesis that describes a possible mechanism to explain the differences between the forest and domestic forms in terms of their specific preferences for humans versus non-human animals. The hypothesis should describe a genetic (heritable) difference between the populations. Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Mosquitoes have odor receptors for specific blood hosts Mosquitoes have specific behaviors tailored to their blood hosts Mosquitoes live in different environments Mosquitoes have different morphology to bite their prey Mosquitoes have different genetics
