Answer to Problem 35A
The temperature at which the wing length is greatest is 310C.
Explanation of Solution
As per the given graph, the wing length of male fly remains almost constant between temperatures 180C to 260C. After 260C, wing length increases slowly and then after 290C, there is a sharp increase in length of wings. At 310C, the wing length of male fly is greatest.
The wing length of female fly increases gradually with increase in temperature up to 300C and then there is a sudden increase in length between 300C and 310C. The wing length of male fly is more than wing length of female fly at 310C.
