Textbook Question
Chapter 52, Problem 11TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Jens Clausen and colleagues, at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, studied how the size of yarrow plants (Achillea lmmlosa) growing on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada varied with elevation. They found that plants from low elevations were generally taller than plants from high elevations, as shown in the diagram.
Data from J. Clausen et al., Experimental studies on the nature of species III. Environmental responses of climatic races of Achillea, Carnegie Institution of Washington Publication No 581 (1948)
Clausen and colleagues proposed two hypo theses to explain this variation within a species: (1) ·There are genetic differences between populations of plants found at different elevations. (2) The species has developmental flexibility and can assume tall or short growth forms, depending on local abiotic factors. If you had seeds from yarrow plants found at low and high elevations, how would you test these hypotheses?

C O O liko mer 0 AS 6 0 O Paramecium -- Paramecia are quite large, straw-colored, slipper-shaped and move rapidly, and they are thus very noticeable. If there are Paramecia in your field of view you probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even "escape" the coverslip at its edges. The trick to slowing the Paramecia is to mix a drop of methyl cellulose with a drop of the cell culture, as…arrow_forwardClass: Hepaticopsida Order Marchantiales Species Marchantia polymorpha с длопастей wys 8-12 Cerice meres осубь External appearance structure: 1 - rhizoids; 2- thallus; 3 - male gametophyte (6-9 sections); 4 - female gametophyte (8-12 sections); 5 - sporophytearrow_forwardplz state 2 importance of the following importance of, algal bloom: Phylum Chlorophyta, Phylum Euglenophyta , Phylum Chrysophyta, Phylum Pyrrhophyta , phylum Phaeophyta , phylum Rhodophyta, phylum Cryptophyta.arrow_forward
