The goldenrod gall-fly lays its eggs on the terminal buds of goldenrod plants. Larvae chew through the buds and into the stems,

where their saliva induces the plant to generate a gall, or outgrowth of tissue, that then provides food and shelter for the developing larva. The larvae are prey to both parasitoid wasps and to birds; wasps selectively prey on larvae inside the smallest galls while birds selectively prey on larvae inside the largest galls. Goldenrod gall-flies are therefore subject to what selection?

Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

This occurs when selective pressures occur against the two extremes of a trait (wasps prey on larvae inside the smallest galls; birds prey on larvae inside the biggest galls). As a result, this would select for larvae in medium sized galls, while the number of larvae in small and large galls decreases.

How developmental genes play role in evolution?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Genetic variations that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism. If a trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).

Which statements describe thigmotropism check all that apply
Finger [1]

Description of  thigmotropism is given below.

Explanation:

1. Thigmotropism is a plant’s response to touch.It is a plant’s response to an external stimulus.It can occur quickly or slowly.Thigmotropism may involve the closing and opening of plant leaves.

2. Thigmonasty or thigmotropism can be define as the response of touch shown by the plants. Here, touch is the external stimulus. It can be define as the movement of the plant parts in response to the external stimulus that is contact or touch. It is also known as Haptotropism. The plant may change it's orientation, shape and size of the plant parts.

3,The thigmotropism can be positive or negative depending upon the visual response shown by the plants. The response shown by the plants is generally fast  but may be slow. This response is shown by the plants in cases of danger of herbivory.Some plants like Mimosa pudica or touch me not plant shows thigmotropism by closing their leaves on touch
