Question
Chapter 18, Problem 3SQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The response that cause the formation of goose bumps on skin of an individual and the response that occur during seasonal migration.
Introduction: The ability of an individual to adjust with the changes that occur in the envoironment for life long is teremed as adaptaions that is based on natural selection.
These reponses occur during the entire life of an individual. Responses can be of three types that are
- Physiological responses
- Anatomical responses
- Behavioral respponses

Tiger Moths produce high pitched ultrasonic clicking when they hear the echolocation calls of bats and we know that bats eat moths. As a result, the bat's sonar is jammed and the Tiger Moth escapes without being caught, killed, and eaten. Please use your knowledge of Evolution by Natural Selection to explain the process by which this remarkable anti-predator defense evolved in Tiger Moths.
Please help me with this question! Thank you.
Adult Daphnia cucullata are aquatic and have two morphs. One has a large “helmet” which makes it harder for their main predator, a type of insect, to eat them. The other lacks the helmet. Female Daphnia keep their eggs within their bodies before hatching. Typically, when mothers are in ponds with their insect predators, their offspring develop helmets, and vice versa. The above scenario best represents an example of a:
a.continuous adaptive response
b.non-adaptive response
c.immediate adaptive response
d.predictive adaptive response
Which of the following rows correctly describes the difference between predation and parasitism?
Select one:
a.
Predation
Parasitism
The host species is killed to benefit the other species.
The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species.
b.
Predation
Parasitism
The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species.
The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species.
c.
Predation
Parasitism
The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species.
The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species.
d.
Predation
Parasitism
The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species.
The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species.

- The yellow perch is a fish found in freshwater lakes. It is a generalist predator, consuming a variety of prey species, including crayfish, small fish, insect larvae and snails. You examine the predation rate of yellow perch on snails, and obtain the following data. Identify the type of functional response, and a plausible reason for why it has that type of response. 60- 40- 20- Perch Predation Ratearrow_forwardSloth moths live in the fur of the sloth.

Mice eat grain grown by a farmer before it can be harvested. The mice are consumed by several species of snakes, which themselves are consumed by hawks. A. If the population of snakes was suddenly wiped out by disease, explain the short-term effects on the grain, mice, and hawk populations, and why these effects would be observed. B. If the population of snakes were suddenly wiped out by disease, explain the long-term effects on the grain, mice, and hawk populations, and why these effects would be observed. C. Local farmers would like to use a biological, as opposed to a chemical, means to protect their crop. What would be the most effective way for farmers in this area to protect their grain crop naturally? Why? Edit View Insert Format Tools Table 12pt ✓ Paragraph BIUA V 2 ✓ T² v :arrow_forward

- Due to its ability to camouflage itself from predators, the White Peppered Moth of England was once much more abundant than the Black Peppered Moth. As the Industrial Revolution hit, factories began to release black soot which coated everything, including tree bark. Because the moths’ habitat was now darker, the white moth became much more susceptible to predators. At the same time, the Black Peppered Moth was now more protected and began to increase in number.This story is an example of A. natural selection. B. extinction. C. endangered species.

- The figures below show a tobacco hornworm that can only eat well chemically defended tobacco plants (specialist) and the a gypsy moth larvae that can eat leaves of many plants that are not well chemically defended, but often can't eat leaves of plants with specialized chemical defenses (generalist). Assume you have observe a patch of land that was planted with tobacco and some tree species that don't have specialized chemical defenses. How might the abundance of the tobacco plant most likely be affected differently by the generalist herbivore and by the specialist herbivore? Tobacco Hornworm Gypsy Moth The gypsy moth may increase the abundance of tobacco by choosing to eat the tree saplings The gypsy moth larvae may decrease the abundance of the tobacco plant by eating the leaves of the tree saplings The tobacco hornworm may increase the abundance of tobacco by chasing gypsy moth larvae away from the plants.
