Ecosystem
I design an experiment to test whether or not fertilizer has an effect on the growth of dandelions.
My hypothesis is that dandelions in soil to which fertilizer is added, will produce more biomass.
What is my independent variable in this experiment?
Presence or absence of fertilizer
What is an example of Aposematism?
A bright red beetle sitting on a green leaf.
A black and yellow stinging wasp that buzzes as it flies.
Which model of natural selection is being exerted in the following scenario: In a population of
fish adult body size is a variable trait (with a normal distribution). The smallest adult fish are
cannibalized by their cohorts and the largest adult fish are visible to a bird predator and tend to
be preyed upon frequently.
