Snezhnost [94]

Hello. You forgot to put the image necessary for this question to be answered. It is important that you always provide all the information necessary for a question to be answered as you deserve.

Answer:

D. The plant will be sensitive and mutated.

Explanation:

Through the image below we can state that the presence of coleoptera larvae, in the roots of corn plants, are few, which indicates that this plant was a type of mutation to present resistance to the attack of these insects, however, the presence of the larvae, allows us to conclude that the plant remains sensitive to these attacks. This indicates that the plant will be sensitive and mutated.

Coleopctera is an order related to the class "insecta", which is part of the biological classification of insects. However, the coleptera is an order composed of beetles, which can be agricultural and urban pests.

Answer:

It is a stenotopic species.

Explanation:

Stenotopic species are well adapted to specific environmental conditions. Stenotopic species can't colonize new environments because they are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions. On the other hand, the eurytopic species can survive and reproduce in a wide range of environments.  

In this case, the geneticist has used a hypothetico-deductive framework, where this butterfly was distinguished by species boundaries based on its sampling distribution.

What do you call a trait caused by a gene located on the X chromosome?
Morgarella [4.7K]
I believe it's called a sex-linked trait, if I'm remembering correctly. This is because men do not have an X chromosome, therefore it would be linked to females.
