<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
D) frequently, and sometimes rapidly
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The hypothesis that the Grants have been testing was about the natural selection shaping the beaks of different bird populations.
- <em><u>The Grants documented that natural selection takes place in the wild finch population frequently, and sometimes rapidly.
</u></em>
- The Grants' work showed that variation within a species increases the likelihood of the species' adapting to and surviving environmental change.
Answer:
The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.
Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:
1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.
2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.
So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).
Experiments in general are more reliable when a greater sample size is used. When using a small sample size, a mistake or fluke can greatly effect the outcome of the experiment. With a large sample size, there is more data to understand averages and deviations to the average data. The average will likely be more accurate with more data, which would make his sample size more reliable.
