Answer and Explanation:
As I don't have access to live butterflies, the control group would be clay models that do not exhibit warning coloration, e.g. beige / white / brown. In contrast, the experimental group would be the clay models that exhibir a strong warning coloration such as color orange / red.
After preparing the clay 'prey', I would locate them in specific places outside where birds are able to detect them. Moreover, I would use a webcam to monitor the recurrence of birds in the area.
1st experiment: Test whether birds approach the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Then, record the minutes they spent wandering near the prey.
2nd experiment: Test wheter birds feed on the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Record time.
Carry out statistical analyses.

Answer:
C. a string of nucleotides that can be used as a template to produce a RNA that codes for a protein.
Explanation:
A gene is a specific sequence of DNA containing genetic information required to make a specific protien and is a string of nucleotides (DNA in cells) that can be used as a template to produce a RNA (by transcription) that codes for a protein. The produced RNA might be the end product (for example some transfer RNA's) or might be further translated into a protein. An organism's entire complement of DNA is its genome.
Answer: The most accepted guess is: By bamboo rafts.
Explanation:
There are two hypotheses.
The first is that they arrived on Flores as Homo erectus and then evolved to Homo floresiensis. The second is that they were already Homo floresiensis when they arrived. This second one is the more accepted hypothesis because it would take organization and language to accomplish this technological water transportation feat. Homo erectus is not known to have developed speech.
Now at the time this transport was estimated to have happened, 100000 years ago, the islands of Komodo and Flores were joined and visible from the mainland. Together they constituted a 19km wide straight visible that could be easily seen from the mainland. The Homo floresiensis tribes built bamboo rafts, or possibly some other floating apparatus made if wood, and sailed there. The islands then progressively drifted apart, isolating them.
PS: It is important to note that some things may have drove them there such as famine, violence, etc.
Answer: B) there is a decrease in kinetic energy and the molecules get closer together.
Explanation: Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature, thus as temperature decreases, kinetic energy also decreases.
Gas is the state of matter in which particles are very loosely bound and hence can easily move past one another very easily and have highest kinetic energy.
Liquid is the state of matter in which particles are loosely bound and hence can move past one another easily and have high kinetic energy.
Solid is the state of matter in which particles are tightly bound and hence can not move easily and have low kinetic energy.
Thus on moving from gaseous to solid state, the kinetic energy decreases and the molecules get closer together.
