Whiteflies are common pest insects found on cotton, tomato, poinsettia, and many other plants. Nymphs are translucent and mostly

sessile, feeding on their host plant's phloem (sap) from the undersides of leaves. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis into winged adults. Because whitefly nymphs cannot escape predation by moving, you hypothesize that their translucent bodies make them hard to spot by predators. How could you directly test this hypothesis?

Answer: Comparing the rates of predation on whitefly nymphs coated with a nontoxic dye versus the undyed whitefly nymphs.

Explanation:

A hypothesis refers to an assumption, which is proposed for the sake of an argument which is tested to ascertain if it's true.

The hypothesis can be tested by comparing the rates of predation on whitefly nymphs coated with a nontoxic dye versus the undyed whitefly nymphs.

Compare hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. When an environment is hypotonic, what happens to the cell? (1 point)
Elan Coil [88]

When an environment is hypotonic, the cell has more solute, so solvent moves from outside the cell to inside, causing the cell to swell.

WHAT IS TONICITY:

  • Tonicity refers to the ability of a solution to cause the inflow or outflow of water in a cell. Tonicity of a solution can either be: hypotonic, hypertonic or isotonic.

  • Hypotonic: This is when a solution has less concentration of solute or more concentration of water than its surroundings.

  • Hypertonic: This is when a solution has more concentration of solute or less concentration of water than its surroundings.

  • Isotonic: This is when the solute concentration between a solution and a cell is balanced or equal.

Based on osmosis, which is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane, water will move from a hypotonic environment into a cell containing more solute.

Therefore, When an environment is hypotonic, the cell has more solute, so solvent moves from outside the cell to inside, causing the cell to swell.

Cladists define a species as a group of organisms sharing a set of unique, derived features that sets them apart form all other
Mars2501 [29]
For the answer to the question above, I believe the answer is the<span> phylogenetic species concept</span>.

The key to the phylogenetic species concept is that species must be "diagnosable." In other words, members of the species should share a combination of characteristics that other species don't have. To look for some unique features that define a  phylogenetic species, systematic comparisons must be done by paleontologists with other related fossils or living species
