- SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Trace amounts ofdioxin were present in Agent Orange, a defoliant sprayed onvegetation during the Vietnam War. Animal tests suggest thatdioxin can cause birth defects, cancer, liver and thymus damage,and immune system suppression, sometimes leading to death.But the animal tests are equivocal; a hamster is not affectedby a dose that can kill a guinea pig. Dioxin acts like a steroidhormone, entering a cell and binding to a cytoplasmic receptorthat then binds the cell’s DNA.(a) Discuss how this mechanism might help explain the variety of dioxin’s effects on different body systems and indifferent animals.(b) Discuss how you might determine whether a type of illnessis related to dioxin exposure. Next, discuss how you mightdetermine whether a particular individual became ill as aresult of exposure to dioxin. Which would be more difficultto demonstrate? Why?arrow_forwardMales of certain Australian beetles have been seen trying to copulate with everything from beer bottles to large orange signs. Apply ethological terminology to these cases by identifying the releaser, the fixed action pattern, and the innate releasing mechanism. Then develop an ultimate hypothesis to account for what clearly is maladaptive behavior on the part of these obtuse beetles (which sometimes die rather than leave the inanimate and unresponsive copulatory partners that they have chosen).

While the adults feed on nectar, they lay their eggs on the pupae of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) and the large white butterfly (Pieris brassicae). These eggs hatch into larvae and feed on the pupae of its host while it is alive. This species is native to most of Western Europe, some parts of North Africa and their habitats include hedgerows and vegetated areas. Females possess a short, thick ovipositor on its abdomen which is used to deposit the eggs on its hosts’ pupae. Using this limited set of information, provide your answers and insights to the following problems. | Part 1: Evolution | Let us assume that there is a sub-population of wasps that are evolving towards a longer and thinner ovipositor i.e. longer ovipositors are increasing in frequency in the species. Provide a hypothetical natural selection scenario that would result in such…arrow_forward
