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.
Present results and discuss.
The answer is A because the subject is responding to something that is going on outside of it, if that makes any sense :)
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
The phenotype of the offspring would be: pink.
The offspring(F1 generation) have a different phenotype than the true-breeding parents( red and white) because this is this is an example of incomplete
dominance. The F1 generation is a result of a blend between the phenotypes of its parents.
