Question
Chapter 55.2, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether Tinbergen’s experiment ruled out any other cue which wasps might have been using for locating their nest.
Introduction: Tinbergen observed that wasp hover around a particular area for construction of their nest. A female digger wasp dig approximately four to five nests for laying their eggs. The digging of the nest is a genetically programmed behavior in a digger wasp.

The researcher exposed Xanthlum strumarlum plants to a cycle of 12 hours light/12 hours dark and exposed the plants to a 10 minute burst of light at different times within the dark perlod. She recorded the percent of flowering plants post exposure. The data is in the chart below. 6. What conclusions can you draw from this data?

In a common eudicot pattern of development for the common bean in the figure, the radicle emerges from the seed (1), then begins to develop into a primary root that grows down into the soil. As this occurs, the hypocotyl emerges from the seed and bends into the shape of a hook (2). The bent hypocotyl lengthens and pulls the cotyledons upward (3). When the hypocotyl reaches the soil surface, exposure to light causes it to straighten (4). Primary leaves emerge from between the cotyledons and begin photosynthesis. The cotyledons typically undergo a period of photosynthesis before shriveling (5). Eventually, the cotyledons fall off the lengthening stem, and the young plant's new leaves produce all of its food.

Drain off excess alcohol from the buds and aseptically excise the anthers from each bud. Remove the filaments and culture the anther on one of the agar media provided. Label the stage of development of the bud on each petri dish as the anthers are cultured. Seal the Petri dishes with parafilm. Incubate in the dark at 26 to 28ºC for 4 to 8 weeks or until small plants can be seen growing out of the anthers. Then transfer to diffuse light. Record the results of the experiment in table form and submit the report. Observation: The culture was contaminated after 8 weeks of incubation…arrow_forward

Group of answer choices The speed (number of days) at which fig saplings die from wilting disease is much faster when the saplings are inoculated with two species of fungi at the same time, compared to only one of the species. The number of days which saplings survive is significantly longer when fig saplings are inoculated with C. ficicola and F. kuroshium at the same time, compared to just inoculated with C. ficicola. There were significantly higher densities of C. ficicola than of F. kuroshium found in plants suffering from fig wilt disease. The number of saplings dying from fig wilt disease was significantly higher in plants inoculated with C. ficicola than in plants inoculated with F. kuroshium plus C. ficicola.arrow_forward
