The formation of goose bumps on your skin in cold weather is an example of a (an) __________ response, while seasonal migration is an example of a (an) __________ response.

An adult female butterfly is actively flying from flower to flower while feeding on a very hot, sunny day in July.  The adult butterfly developed from an egg that was laid late in the season the previous year and it became cold while she was still in the caterpillar stage.  The caterpillar entered diapause and then resumed feeding and development the following spring when it became warmer.  Before entering diapause, the caterpillar was parasitized by a parasitoid wasp, which laid an egg in the caterpillar’s body, triggering an immune response that eventually killed the egg and allowed the caterpillar to complete its development and metamorphosis into an adult.  Based on this scenario, answer the following questions: 4.  When the adult butterfly inhales: a.     oxygen diffuses across the walls of the alveoli into the hemolymph, which then distributes the oxygen to all tissues. b.    oxygen binds with hemoglobin and is then carried throughout the tracheal system to all tissues. c.…

interpret the alert behavior of squirrel from graph

An experiment with squirrels revealed that they make alarm sounds when a model of an owl is placed near them. When a red cube, about the same size as an owl is placed there, there seems to be no alarm. Which of the following best explains this reaction? The owl model is the ultimate cause of alarm vocalization behavior. The owl model, but not the red cube, triggers the fixed action pattern of alarm vocalizations. The squirrel is trying to attract the owl into its territory. The squirrels cannot see red objects, and so do not make alarm sounds. 0000

Fish produce a hormone called isotocin, a hormone that is similar to oxytocin in mammals. Both hormones, oxytocin and isotocin, have been linked to social behaviors including the suppression of social anxiety, trust, and attachment. Prior to this study, the relationship between isotocin in the bloodstream and the amount of aggression or submission individual cichlid fish display was unknown. The researchers hypothesized that isotocin would suppress aggressive behaviors in cichlids to promote social cohesion as these fish exist in large social groups (schools). To address this hypothesis, each of 10 fish were exposed to two treatments, 1 week apart. One at a time, a fish was randomly selected from the group of 10 and either injected with a saline solution (that served as the control) or with isotocin. After this injection, the fish was returned to its group and the amount of aggressive and submissive behaviors the fish demonstrated was recorded for the next 10 minutes. One week later…

Egg-retrieval behavior of greylag geese is an excellent example of a highly predictable behavior. Interpret this behavior within the framework of classical ethology, using these terms: releaser, sign stimulus, and stereotyped behavior. Interpret the territorial defense behavior of male three-spined sticklebacks in the same context.

Mechanical defenses such as spines on a plant, or chemical defenses such as a skunk's odor are examples of which of the following?   Question 25 options:   Mimicry   Camouflage   Adaptations against herbivory or predation.   Symbiosis
