Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The correct answer is the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? Therefore option c. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Behavior of a person depends on many factors like the interaction, attitude of others, fondness and some other factors. If a particular person or any organism has a threat from other person or organism or has a liking for some or the person or thing or any organism he or she develops a protective and a restrictive behavior for that particular person or organism.

Option c. is given as “How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness?”.

As, “the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? highlight the behavior and the relation of alarm and the prairie dog”, is the right answer.

Hence, option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “How does a squid alter its color to blend in with its environment?”

This question enquires and gives a hint about the process not about a behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option b. is given as “How does a hummingbird's body shape influence its ability to hover?”

This question depicts a process and is not related to behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option d. is given as “Which cues do monarch butterflies use during migration?”

This question asks about the type of monarch butterflies and not about their behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The behavior of an organism shows or tells about the way in which any person, animal or any organism gives response to any particular condition.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
