The plant has the genotype ssyy. (Uncapitalized because they are recessive genes, not dominant.)
I don't have the story please put it in the comments so I can read it :)
1) B
(I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition
2) D
Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.
3) A
4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.
Cooperation is common in non-human animals. Besides cooperation with an immediate benefit for both actors, this behavior appears to occur mostly between relatives.[1] Spending time and resources assisting a related individual may at first seem destructive to the organism’s chances of survival but is actually beneficial over the long-term. Since relatives share part of their genetic make-up, enhancing each other’s chances of survival may actually increase the likelihood that the helper’s genetic traits will be passed on to future generations.[6] The cooperative pulling paradigm is an experimental design used to assess if and under which conditions animals cooperate. It involves two or more animals pulling rewards towards themselves via an apparatus they can not successfully operate alone.[7]
