Picture the morphology of an average soapberry bug from a rain tree population and compare it to the morphology of its new food

source, balloon vine seeds. This average bug was taken from a population containing a range of sizes. (a) Are large, small or average bugs more likely to have relative fitness on the new food source?(b) List one change in bug morphology that you would reasonably expect in bug populations that have been living on golden rain trees. (c) List one change in behavior that you would reasonably expect in bug populations that have been living on golden rain trees.(d) Soapberry bugs are small relative to their host plants, and the bugs vary in their abilities to disperse. Although they have wings, many soapberry bugs have developed flight muscles and walk more often than they fly. In davis, where both balloon vines and golden rain trees are grown, would a dispersing bug likely have higher fitness than one with less developed flight muscles? Explain your answer.

Answer:

(a) In this case, small bugs are more likely to have relative fitness on the new food source.

(b) A change that will occur in bug morphology is that the female bugs will turn out to be the same size as the male bugs.

(c) In terms of behavior, the bugs will experience less competition towards reproducing early.

(d) Yes, the dispersing bug would have higher fitness as they will be able to easily get access to new resources once the previous one has run out, whereas the bugs with less developed fight muscles will not be able to do so.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

A line graph has a vertical axis labeled "Average plant mass (g)^ * and a horizontal axis labeled "Herbicide (g/plant)." What in
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is D. The average mass of plants exposed to 3 g of herbicide was 10g.

Explanation:

As the vertical axis is labelled as average plant mass, it will make the y- coordinate.

As the horizontal axis is labelled as Herbicide (g/plant), it will make the x-axis.

The coordinates for the given value are (3,10). 3 will be the value of the x- coordinate. Hence, it will show the average mass of the plant at the plotted point which will be 3 g.

10 will show the value of the y- coordinate which will be the amount of herbicide given to the plant.

Hence, Dis the correct option.

you are a molecule of carbon. choose a starting point in the carbon cycle and describe the process you would go through to move
Assoli18 [71]
Answer:

1) start as a carbon molecule in the atmosphere
2) taken in by trees through photosynthesis
3) carbon is taken into decayed organism
4) then it is taken into dead organisms and waste products underground
5) millions of years later, it is stored in a fossil
6) fossil fuels used by factories then emit carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere (back to starting position

if you want the whole cycle then..
7) used again by a tree
8) released as organic carbon (some)
9) tree leaf is eaten by an animal, which then releases carbon either from respiration or when it dies
