Students wanted to perform an experiment to mimic natural selection. They noted that small plants growing in the school garden h

ad projections that extended from the leaves. These projections are called trichomes. They hypothesized that the trichomes protect the plant from herbivory, when herbivores eat the leaves from the plants and cause damage. The students counted the average number of trichomes per leaf and plotted this on the top graph, shown here. They then selected parent plants that had a higher than average trichome number per leaf to pollinate, creating a new generation of plants. The distribution of average trichome number for the second generation is shown in the bottom graph.
Which statements below are supported by the information shown here?
A) The trichome number is controlled by a genetic factor.
B) Directional selection occurred due to the student's experiment.
C) Herbivores can no longer consume the plants in the second generation.
D) The genotypic frequencies of the first and second generation should be identical.
E) Artificial selection can alter phenotype frequencies in as few as two generations.

Explain why viruses are not considered to be living.

viruses are not considered to be living because they lack cells and cannot reproduce on their own. although viruses contain DNA, they do not have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, or other organelles. they also need to use the cells of living organisms in order to replicate.

Rufina [12.5K]

N an experiment, suppose that the wings of fruit flies were clipped short for fifty generations. The fifty-first generation emerged with normal-length wings. This observation would tend to disprove the idea that evolution is based on

a. inheritance of natural variations

b. inheritance of acquired characteristics

c. natural selection

d. survival of the fittest

Inheritance of acquired characteristics. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is inheritance of acquired characteristics?</h3>

For fifty generations wings of fruit flies were clipped. Hence they acquired this trait in their lifetime and not genetically. If acquired characteristics were capable of passing on to next generation, 50 generations would have been enough to inculcate this clipped wing trait in fruit flies. Despite it, the fifty-first generation did not have clipped wings.

Hence evolution can not occur without genetic variation. A character simply acquired in a lifetime does not create a difference in germ cells and hence is not enough to be passed on to next generation or cause evolution
