You want to test whether a pesticide effectively controls (kills) yam beetles. You have access to the plants yam beetles eat, a greenhouse, the pesticide and yam beetles. How would you set up your experiment to determine if the pesticide could effectively kill the beetles? (Hint: think of your variables, what are some variable you'd control? what would you manipulate/vary? what would you measure?)
Bean beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus, get their lifetime nutrition from the bean seeds (family Fabaceae) on which their mother lays her eggs. The specific bean on which each egg is laid determines the future success of the larva that develops from that egg. Choosing where to lay an egg is the most important decision a female bean beetle will make for her offspring, yet even within one bean species the seeds available may be very different in quality. Seeds vary in size (even if from the same plant), so the amount of resource available to larvae on different beans will not be the same. Seed mass may vary by as much as 50% among mung beans purchased in a local store, a species on which Callosobruchus develops normally and may complete its lifecycle. During the life cycle of the beetle, the most time is spent in the________________stage.

Intraspecific competition is a competition between members of the same species and is commonly observed in crop plants. Table 6.2 shows the results of a greenhouse experiment which examined the effects of density on the germination and growth of barley. Plants were grown for two weeks in 10- cm diameter pots kept in identical environmental conditions and watered regularly. At the end of the experiment the plants were cropped by cutting the stems at the soil surface. Explain why knowledge of the effects in density is important to the crop farmer.
The following graph depicts the relationship between the mean flower depth of Zaluzianskya microsiphon plants and the proboscis length of its long-tonged fly Disa nivea pollinator in a specific region. Zaluzianskya microsiphon O Disa nivea 60- 50 40- 30 20- 10 10 20 30 40 50 Mean fly proboscis length (mm) Based on this correlation, do you think these two species are coevolving? Why or why not? And based on the geographic mosaic theory, would you consider the region were the plants and flies live a cold or a hot spot? Explain your answer. Mean flower depth (mm)
In early spring, Dr. Tom Wilson notices that there is an equal distribution of long and short stemmed buttercups in the vacant lot across the street from his house as well as in his own backyard. In late summer he notices that there are mostly long stemmed buttercups in the lot, but mostly short stemmed buttercups in his yard. These observations are examples of what biological principle? Develop a hypothesis to explain Dr. Wilson's observations.
A researcher was interested in finding out whether talking to plants was related to plant growth. To test this idea she used 20 plants where all 20 plants had the same amount of food, water and sunlight. She randomly assigned the 20 plants to 1 of 2 groups: she talked to 10 of the plants for 1 minute/day; she talked to the other 10 plants 10 minutes/day. Every day for one month the researcher measured the height of the plants. What is the Independent variable and the Dependent variable in the example above?
Imagine you are performing an experiment on the growth of aspen seedlings under different temperature conditions to better understand how aspen forests may be impacted by changes to the climate. In your experiment, aspen seedlings are grown in a temperature controlled greenhouse at either 20° C or 30° C. Seedlings are measured for height and number of new leaves on a weekly basis. Your hypotheses are as follows: Alternative hypothesis: Temperature influences how quickly aspen seedlings grow. Null hypothesis: Temperature has no impact on how quickly aspen seedlings grow. You perform a t-test to compare the average weekly growth for seedlings in the 20° C treatment versus the 30° C treatment. You get a p-value of 0.03. How likely is it that the difference between the two averages was due to random chance? What does this information tell you about your hypotheses?
A researcher discovered a species of moth that lays its eggs on oak trees. Eggs are laid at two distinct times of the year: early in spring when the oak trees are flowering and in midsummer when flowering is past. Caterpillars from eggs that hatch in spring feed on oak flowers and look like oak flowers. But caterpillars that hatch in summer feed on oak leaves and look like oak twigs. How does the same population of moths produce such different-looking caterpillars on the same trees? To answer this question, the biologist caught many female moths from the same population and collected their eggs. He put at least one egg from each female into eight identical cups. The eggs hatched, and at least two larvae from each female were maintained in one of the four temperature and light Temperature Day Length Springlike Springlike conditions listed below. Springlike Summerlike Summerlike Springlike Summerlike Summerlike In each of the four environments, one of the caterpillars was fed oak…
In the experiment conducted to test why individuals in the tree species Fuschsia excorticata retain flowers after they turn red even though the trees pollinate and offer a nectar reward only when flowers are green (Figure attached 10.28 first tested the 'pollinator-attraction' hypothesis that red flowers attract pollinators: once drawn to a tree, pollinators could forage on the green flowers still present, increasing overall pollination efficiency. Please assess the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that appear immediately below and click the uppercase-letter-labelled response that appears below and conveys the most accurate information. i. If the pollinator-attraction hypothesis were correct, then green flowers surrounded by red flowers should receive more pollen than should green flowers surrounded by only green flowers. ii. The prediction in statement i could be tested by removing red flowers from some trees, forming one experimental group, and leaving red flowers on…
