Chapter 1, Problem 3FIO
Figure 1.15 Example of error bars in a graph.
This graph was adapted from the peacock butterfly research described in Section 1.5.
The researchers recorded the number of times each butterfly flicked its wings in response to an attack by a bird.
The squares represent average frequency of wing flicking for each sample set of butterflies. The error bars that extend above and below the dots indicate the range of values—the sampling error.
Figure It Out: What was the fastest rate at which a butterfly with no spots or sound flicked its wings?

Using the data and the graph in the picture, do a chi-square and its statistical analysis?
What would happen to the relative frequencies of moth colors if environmental laws curtailed pollution and the tree bark went back to the pre-industrial color?
Question 8 options:
The ratio of light to dark-colored moths would stay the same.
Eventually, there would be relatively more dark-colored moths.
Eventually there would be relatively more light-colored moths.
Make a rough graph (don’t worry about exact accuracy, only the general trends are important) to visuallyrepresent the data provided. You should focus on seeing the trend. Keep the same scaled axes for all yourgraphs, as the three graphs should line up and match up with each other. Your data (plot) points don’t needto be perfectly accurate (remember, you want to visually show the general trends).
LH and FSH go on the top graph, estrogen and progesterone in the middle, and endometrium thickness on the bottom graph. * Make sure you use 2 different colours for FSH/LH and estrogen/progesterone.
- Now, refer to the data (and graphs). On what day(s) does the hormone LH surge? Suggest a possible function of LH and how you know this based on the data that you graphed.

A researcher discovered a species of moth that lays its eggs on oak trees. Eggs are laid at two distinct times of the year: early in spring when the oak trees are flowering and in midsummer when flowering is past. Caterpillars from eggs that hatch in spring feed on oak flowers and look like oak flowers, but caterpillars that hatch in summer feed on oak leaves and look like oak twigs. How does the same population of moths produce such different-looking caterpillars on the same trees? To answer this question, the biologist caught many female moths from the same population and collected their eggs. He put at least one egg from each female into eight identical cups. The eggs hatched, and at least two larvae from each female were maintained in one of the four temperature and light conditions listed below.

- WRITE DOWN SOME NOTES OR TAKE AWAYS ABOUT THIS MODEL. Model 3 – Random Genetic Drift This model is an adaptation of the classic experiment conducted by Peter Buri (1956), which documented genetic drift in laboratory populations of Drosophila. In the model, ten vials (populations) of flies are held at a constant population size and the proportions of a mutant allele are tracked over generations. The population size and the initial allele proportion can be manipulated.arrow_forwardGive only typing answer with explanation and conclusion Researchers were measuring the % change in range sizes of 42 mammal species over a 50 year period. The values ranged from -14.6% (indicating a decrease of 14.6% in the range size) to +32.1% (indicating an increase of 32.1% in the range size). On average, the mean % change across all the species was +6.3%. To test whether this result differed from the null hypothesis expectation that the mean change would be 0% what test should the researchers use? a) independent sample t-test b) paired t-test c) non-parametric test d) single sample t-testarrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Scientists are trying to estimate the size of a bird species whose local population is 325. Since they cannot see all 325 at once, they will estimate it using mark-recapture methods. They initially capture 64 individuals, mark them, and release them. They then recapture 50. What is the most likely number of MARKED birds in their recapture sample? (You may need to round up or down for the correct answer.) Multiple Choice -50 -1 -10 -5 -0 -253arrow_forward
