10.It seems surprising that certain orchids successfully deceive insects into“copulating” with their flowers. Have these species of insects, evidently failing to perceive the difference between a flower and a female of their own species, failed to adapt? If so, what might account for this failure?

22 . Five species of ants can be found on aspen sunflowers (Helianthella quinquenervis), which live in wet mountain meadows of the Rocky Mountains. The aspen sunflowers provide nectar to the ants in special structures called extrafloral nectaries. The ants, in turn, protect the sunflowers from other insects. The ants, however, are not found solely on the sunflowers—they can be found tending aphids on other flower species and collecting nectar from other species as well. This, then, is an example of a(n): a facultative mutualism b facultative commensalism c obligate mutualism d symbiotic mutualism
1. All of the following is the comparison of plants and animals in terms of their reproduction, EXCEPT A. plants need a vector such as an insect for reproduction B. animals and plants have the same ways of reproduction C. plants and animals both use color display for reproduction D. most animals requires physical interaction with each other 2. Is it true that (I) reproduction allows organisms to propagate and improve their species and (11) only those that have the genes necessary for survival can proliferate and pass them on to the next generation? A. I only B. Il only C. Both I and II D. Neither I nor II
18. In much of the northern United States, the bracken fern, Pteridium aquilinum, grows in clones that are the product of asexual reproduction and underground rhizome growth. A given clump of ferns, with separate fronds, may be genetically identical (a clone) but could have different concentrations of chemical defenses in their leaves. Natural selection on the concentration of chemical defenses in fronds within a clonal clump of fronds (differences in herbivore damage to separate fronds) would: a) not be possible since the fronds are clonal b) not result in evolution of the chemical defenses c) cause a change in genotypes in a given clone d) yield evolution of improved chemical defenses 19. The variation in concentrations of chemical defenses among individuals within a given clone described in Question 18 (above) was caused by: a) different genotypes b) natural mistakes c) rare mutations d) environmental factors
