Answer:
In addition to vocalization, a mother sea lion locate her pup using a variety of behavioral signals such as moving inside their colony, returning to a familiar location within the colony where she frequented to feed her pup, visual cues and olfactory cues like smelling the approaching pups.
Explanation:
Sea Lions belong to the scientific order Pinnipedia and the family Otariidae. They can walk on all fours on land by rotating their pelvic girdle under their body and also use their front flippers to move in the water. During their breeding and pupping (birthing) time, they gather in groups called rookeries. They can communicate through vocalizations (barks, growls, and grunts) both on land and in water.
After the return of mother sea lions to the rookery from their searching for food (foraging), the mother-pup pairs identify and locate each other through the exchange of vocalizations. In addition to vocalization, the mothers often return to a home spot (familiar location within their colony where a female frequented to feed her pup), move inside the colony and also use visual and olfactory cues like smelling the approaching pups to correctly identify their pup. Also, the return of the mother to a familiar home spot provides the pup with spatial and geographical memory cues.
1. Suzie's hypothesis (i.e. prediction of results) is that ferns which are placed in white light will grow to a taller height after two weeks than ferns which are placed in other coloured light or in a closet.
2. Her independent variable (the thing she changes to produce a result) is the kind of light that she places each plant in.
3. The dependent variable (the thing she measures) is the height of the plants after two weeks.
4. I would say her control group would be the plant placed in the closet, because every other group is exposed to some form of light.
5. I would say that Suzie has 4 experimental groups: white, red, blue, and green light.
6. The constant variables were the amount of water each plant was given, the initial height of the plants, the age of the plants, the species of fern, and what she planted the ferns in.
7. To determine how each fern did, Suzie could measure the height in addition to noting the appearance of all the plants. E.g. did any look paler than the others?
Answer:
Behavioral responses in organisms require communication between an organism and its environment (option C).
Explanation:
The behavior of an organism depends on the function of relationship with the environment that surrounds it, and the way to respond to the diverse stimuli that are in this environment.
Behavioral responses always occur as a result of the interaction between the physical environment and other living organisms. This interaction triggers a series of stimuli that are perceived by the senses and processed by each organism, developing an appropriate response to each of them.
