Summary Introduction
To explain:
Did Redi’s experiment convincingly demonstrate that flies produce maggots?
Introduction:
A classic experiment by Francesco Redi, Italian physician in 1600 demonstrated the scientific method by illustrating scientific principles. He explained that all events can be traced to natural causes.

- Three haploid fungal mutants that require compound W for growth were isolated. Each mutant contains a recessive allele in a single gene. Three compounds (A, B and C) in the biosynthetic pathway to W are known, but their order in the pathway is unknown. Each compound is tested for its ability to support the growth of each of the three mutants. Phenotypes of all of the three mutants are shown in the following table (“+" indicates growth, "-" indicates no growth). A C W Mutant 1 Mutant 2 Mutant 3 What would be the phenotype of a haploid mutant that contains both mutant alleles in mutant 2 and 3? Phenotype refers to growth or absence of growth on compounds A, B, C and WN.

- for clarification which is shown in the graph, the darker blue on the bar graph shows the mass(size) of the eggs and the striped blue represents the number of eggs which is also depicted in the graph. as far as the host plants, its just showing 3 different plants the butterflies were on which is represented by the a, b, and c, also located on the graph. The right side of the graph (mass) represents blue and the left side (number of eggs) represents the striped blue. part a: Describe the relationship between egg size and clutch size shown in Figure 1. (This is not asking about host plants, just about the butterfly eggs.) part b: Describe one possible reason for the relationship between egg size and clutch size observed. (This is not asking about the host plants, just about the butterfly eggs.) part c:Describe one realistic difference between host plants that might be affecting the numbers and sizes of eggs that a female lays on these plants.arrow_forwardDiscuss either (a) how allelopathy contributes to the invasiveness of spotted knapweed or (b) the difference between choice and non-choice experiments and how it relates to experiments on hyperaccumulating plants.arrow_forwardThe diagram below represents single-celled organism A dividing by mitosis to form cells B andC.
