In the figure below, each number represents a species. The closer two numbers are on the diagram the more similar the two species. The circles represent taxonomic groups. For example, the diagram shows that 2, 3, 4, and 5 are in the same genus. (Species within a group may be written as 2-5, 11-16 etc. Separate two or more groups with a coma) A. State one species that is in a genus with no other species B. State the species that are in a family with 2 genera C. State the species that are in order with 2 families D. State the species that are in a class with 3 orders E. Deduce whether species 8 is more closely related to species 16 or species 6 F. Explain why three concentric circles have been drawn around species 34 on the diagram
An orchid species has flowers that resemble and smell like female bumblebees. The flower attracts male bumblebees, which attempt to mate with the flower. They get a package of pollen attached to their body, which they then deliver to another orchid flower of the same species. Which of the following statements about this is correct? a. this is an example of mullerian mimicry b. this is an example of batesian mimicry c. this appears to be a different type of mimicary rhat does not fit either mullerian or batesian model d. no answer text provided
You want to distinguish between two hypotheses to explain the patterns you see: 1) Males not feeding the young is an adaptation to dimorphism 2) If males don't feed the young in a species, it will allow them to become brightly colored To begin to address this question, map the characters changes in dimorphism and males feeding the young onto each of the trees on the previous page. CHARACTER SEXUAL DIMORPHISM MALES FEED YOUNG Cassin's Vireo No No Red Fox Sparrow Cape May Warbler Cedar Waxwing Golden-Crowned Kinglet Pyrrhuloxia Yes No No No No Yes No Yes Yes No California Gull No Yes Note: This data is fictional 5) Which of the hypotheses in part 4 is consistent with your analysis? Explain why in a brief paragraph.
Morphological differences are abundant among many species. We make assumptions about why adaptations exist, but to understand whether a specific trait is a adaptive and why, researchers must create experiments that have all the following, EXCEPT: a. replication of each treatment to ensure reliability of results. b. experimental design that enables all full interpretation of differences. c. include control groups. d. hypotheses that are testable and falsifiable. e. exceedingly small sample sizes in each treatment group.
The pesticide DDT was widely used in the 1940s as a method of insect control. In the late 1950s the first DDT-resistant mosquitoes were discovered, and eventually DDT-resistant mosquitoes were found globally. When DDT is used now, the development of DDT resistance in mosquito populations occurs in months rather than years.Which of the following best explains the observations concerning DDT resistance in mosquitoes?* nd 2 chool The proportion of DDT-resistant mosquitoes in a population remains constant due to O the metabolic costs of DDT utilization DDT is a chemical signal that delays normal reproductive cycles in many mosquito populations. Natural selection favors DDT-resistant mosquitoes that are already present in a population when DDT exposure occurs. Competition for limited resources causes mosquitoes to migrate to geographical areas that have richer supplies of DDT. A population of 1.492 finches is intróduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches show a death rate of…
Place the following elements in the strategy to control mosquito populations in the correct order from earliest to latest by numbering them from 1 to 5. a.

The mosquito population decreases dramatically. e. Scientists release GM male mosquitoes into the wild.
