Question
Chapter 33, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the tiger moths jam the bat’s sonar signal the bat about the moth’s toxic defenses with reference to the graph depicted in the question.
Introduction:
Bats are nocturnal mammals that belong to the group of chiroptera. They hunt their prey at night by using their sonar signals. They form image of their prey by detecting the returning signals and then hunt down the prey. Tiger moths belong to the phylum Insecta. They are named so because they have tiger like stripes on their body.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization You have seenmany examples of how form fits function at all levels of thebiological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.

- must DC auypt at sppottmg and Handng prey icIS tlat woUld TathoI Hot OC SCCH and CatCI. II a popuration of prey randomly acquires a mutation that happens to make them blend in more with their environment (i.e. become cryptic), then predators are going to have a harder time finding prey visually. Given how difficult predation is generally, most predators have evolved strategies to minimize their search when hunting. Therefore, prey individuals carrying this new cryptic mutation are more likely to avoid detection as predators focus on and eat relatively more of the individuals that stand out in their habitat. In this way, we can have differential survival and reproduction of prey individuals based on how their heritable phenotype varies in the population- in other words, natural selection can favor cryptic coloration in predator-filled environments. However, natural selection only 'sees' phenotypes, it does not act on organisms' genotypes directly. Therefore, to understand how a trait is…arrow_forwardMany people like to eat spicy foods, but most other mammals don’t.
