- Honey bee workers from a colony in North Carolina are visiting two food sites, A and B, at 6 am as shown below. Site A is 1500 m from the hive; site B is 300 m from the hive. Which of the following statements is true regarding the genetic basis of the bees’ ability to track the passage of time and compensate for the movement of the sun? a. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on the Amfor gene, which causes a build up of AMFOR protein in the corpora pedunculata that activates the Gp9 and UU genes, whose products degrade AMFOR in a 24 hour cycle. b. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on the per gene in the optic lobes, whose activity has a 24 hour cycle regulated by the dbt and tim genes. c. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on alternating expression of two alleles for the for gene in the subesophagael ganglion: the R allele which is active at night and the s allele which is active during the day. d. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on levels of eclosion hormone released from…arrow_forwardCompare the genetic relationship of the parent pest and its offspring.

- To conduct their experiment, the researchers collected L. peronii eggs from a natural stream. After the eggs had hatched, tadpoles were raised in artificially constructed 2 L containers in a laboratory. All containers were filled with 1 L of filtered tap water, and the water was changed every other day. Thirteen tadpoles were placed in each container, and the tadpoles were exposed to a 12-hour light: 12-hour dark photoperiod. All tadpoles were fed thawed spinach daily. The researchers randomly placed the tadpoles into containers exposed to one of four treatments, with nine replicates of each treatment, as follows: Low UVBR (<6.0 kJ/m2), low temperature (15OC) Low UVBR (<6.0 kJ/m2), high temperature (26OC) High UVBR (>70.0 kJ/m2), low temperature (15OC) High UVBR (>70.0 kJ/m2), high temperature (26OC) The researchers recorded the number of tadpoles still alive out of the original 13 in a container (percent survival) at different time periods.
