Title: Biology Chapter 34-35 Homework Post by: bethviele on Nov 22, 2013 Question 9
1. You are doing field study work with a scientist studying spiders in the Amazon rainforest. You come across a previously undiscovered species of spider and set up a video camera with a zoom lens to observe it closely without disturbing it. You see the female spider lay two eggs, kill an ant that tried to eat one of the eggs, and preserve the ant to feed the hatchlings the next day. She lays two more eggs as soon as the two offspring grow larger and leave. When your mentor asks for a monthly update, what exciting news do you have for her about this species? A) It exhibits unusual zero population growth tendencies. B) It exhibits unusual K-selected tendencies. C) It exhibits unusual r-selected tendencies. D) It exhibits unusual intelligent learning tendencies. Question 10 1. You are doing field work on a small, uninhabited island. You are supplementing your food supply with fish that live in some of the ponds on the island. You catch a brightly colored fish with red and black stripes, filet it, pan fry it, and spit out your first bite because it tastes like it had been soaked in urine. Back at camp, your guide from a nearby island is pan frying fish with red and black stripes he caught in an adjacent pond. When you tell him not to eat those, he smiles and says these are the best-tasting fish in the whole island chain! You look closer and see the pattern of the red and black stripes is just a little different from the fish you caught. What principle of ecology have you just experienced firsthand? A) Batesian mimicry B) commensalism C) Müllerian mimicry D) mutualism Title: Re: Biology Chapter 34-35 Homework Post by: padre on Nov 22, 2013 Assuming this is coming from a Pearson textbook, what chapter and book are you using?
