Question

Suppose the sub-hypothesis that wing waving alone reduces predation by jumping spiders was supported by the Zonosemata experiment. What results would have supported that sub-hypothesis?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: Zonosemata flies with housefly wings are attacked less frequently

Explanation:

The Zonosemata experiment is a scientific experiment that was conducted to investigate how zonosemata flies are able to protect themselves from predation by jumping spiders. In this study, housefly wings were transplanted onto zonosemata flies. This made zonosemata flies protected from attack by jumping spiders. On the other hand, when zonosemata wings were transplanted onto houseflies, they were easy targets for jumping spiders. Therefore, if the sub-hypothesis that wing waving alone reduces predation by jumping spiders is proven, the logical result would be that:  Zonosemata flies with housefly wings are attacked less frequently.
