alex is trying to herd cattle into the bud box of a chute. where should alex stand to make the cattle move forward?
Voles that are born in the Spring have thin coats as adults, while voles that are born in the Fall have thick coats as adults. Most voles live only a few months; voles born in the Spring are alive during the warm summer season, while voles born in the Fall are alive during the cold winter season. The environment experienced by the mother during pregnancy determines coat thickness in the offspring. Now consider a situation in which the environment the vole mothers during pregnancy changes, such that voles born in the Fall now have thin coats. Assume in this case that the Winters are still cold. This scenario provides an example of which of the following hypotheses?
a.Environment mismatch hypothesis
b.Endocrine disruptor hypothesis
c.Thrifty genotype hypothesis
d.Plasticity first hypothesis
A. Dr. Doebley and his team compared the DNA sequence of maize to that of a number of teosinte varieties from throughout Mexico. What did their analysis reveal?
B. Teosinte looks like a terrible plant to begin to domesticate for agricultural purposes. What hypothesis is put forth to explain farmers’ early interest in the plant?

- Create a Concept Map for the following:arrow_forwardA plant breeder found a species of flowering plant with very attractive flowers growing wild in a field and she thought it would appeal to her customers. Some of the plants of this species had red flowers, some white flowers, and some pink flowers. While she would like to be able to offer her customers all three colors of flowers, she only has permission from the landowner to dig up one plant to bring back to the nursery as breeding stock. What would be the best thing for her to do? Top of Form Take a white flowering plant since the white allele could be masking the pink allelle. Take a pink flowering plant since it is likely to carry both the red and white alleles. Take a red flowering plant since it could produce all three colors eventually. Take a red flowering plant since the red allele is likely the dominant one.arrow_forwardThe text explains that selective breeding involves breeding animals or plants for specific desirable traits. For example, humans bred different types of dogs to accomplish certain jobs. Farmers breed chickens for having meat and laying a greater amount of eggs. Cattle are often selectively bred either for more meat or for more milk production. The text also notes that breeding animals for size and strength interferes with natural animal processes. Based on this information presented in the text, who benefits from the traits different animals are bred for? a) humans breeding the animals b) the animals being bred by the humans c) both the humans breeding the animals and the animals being bred by the humans d) animals not being bred by humansarrow_forward
- What is mutation? Explain the significance of mutation in plant breeding. Give an example of a disease resistant variety of cultivated plant induced by mutation.arrow_forwardYou are walking to school on a December morning. There is a thin layer of snow on the grass. As you walk, you notice two distinct sets of paw prints left behind by some animals. One set is long and almost triangular shaped with large gaps in between pairs of prints. The other prints are round with four toes and they stagger diagonally. There are tufts of fur near the paw prints, some pieces are reddish orange, and some are a smoky brown color, possibly gray. By the time you get to school, you only see on the set of round paw prints and a few pieces of reddish-orange fur. The other prints stopped appearing suddenly. Based on this scenario, what kind of relationship do you think the two animals have?
