You are studying the effect that the commonly used agricultural pesticide "Pestkill" that has been found in bodies of water has on the survival rate of eggs of dragonflies. How will you label your X and Y axes? Check all that apply.
A "Pestkill concentration (mg)" as X axis label, "percentage of eggs hatched in two weeks" as Y axis label
B "Pestkill" as X axis label, "number of eggs" on Y axis
C "Pestkill concentration (mg)" as Y axis label, "percentage of eggs hatched in two weeks" as X axis label
D "Pestkill" as Y axis label, "number of eggs" on X axis

- If natural selection has no foresight,how can it explain features that seem to prepare organisms for future events? For example, deciduous trees at high latitudes drop their leaves before winter arrives, male birds establish territories before females arrive in the spring, and animals such as squirrels and jays store food as winter approaches.arrow_forwardWhen determining whether to feed on small, medium, or large prey, why should predators evaluate both the energy obtained from each prey item, the abundance of each prey item, and the handling time of each prey item?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an example of qualitative data? 1.

- Describe a two-year cycle in the life of an adult female gray whale by answering the specific questions below. Where do they mate and give birth? How often do they give birth? Where do they spend the non-breeding season? (Note this is also where they eat because they don’t typically feed during migration or on their breeding waters.)

How do sperm and egg find each other? B. In humans there are no water currents and the volume of the female reproductive tract is relatively limited. Then, why does the male have so many sperm? C. Why do sea urchins have external fertilization? D. Then why don't the parents take care of the young? E.
