Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat
butterflies and moths, yet birds rarely eat the monarchs. Likewise, the monarch caterpillars are brightly striped yellow and white and black, and they also are rarely eaten by birds, although some wasps will attack them and feed them to their young. What can be inferred from these observations? A. Monarchs must threaten and attack birds, but not wasps.
B. Monarchs have a way of discouraging bird predation that does not involve hiding.
C. Monarchs’ wings are so colorful that most birds must find them difficult to eat.
D. Monarchs lay more eggs than other less conspicuous butterflies.
The sum of an organism's observable characteristics is their phenotype. A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, whilst genotype is inherited from an organism's parents, the phenotype is not. Whilst a phenotype is influenced the genotype, genotype does not equal phenotype
C. Disrupting intermediate filaments will result in cells that are more susceptible to mechanical forces. In the case of the keratinocytes, disrupting keratin, a key IF in these cells, would result in very fragile cells. Less force would need to be applied using the magnetic beads to damage them or change their shape.
