- I am testing the prediction that spiders with colors that match a flower (cryptic coloration) will have greater success hunting bees visiting that flower. I set up two treatments for spiders: those matching their flower and those not matching their flower. I measure how long it takes each of them to catch a bee. What kind of statistical test would be best for testing my prediction?

This means thata. body weight is primarily controlled by genes.b. the environment has little influence on body weight.c. the variance in body weight is mostly due to genetic variation.d. both a and b are correct.arrow_forwardHeritability: A. is the proportion of a trait in an individual that is explained by genes.

Group of answer choices A. low and mostly occurs within populations B. high and mostly occurs between populations C. non-existent, humans are all clones D. high and mostly occurs within populations E. low and mostly occurs between populationsarrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardIn the study of genetics, a model organism is one in which hypotheses can be tested and the results are usually true of most other organisms. For examining heredity and how different alleles affect traits in a population, a good model organism is one that has a short generation time and many offspring O is most like a wild population has only a few offspring that can be studied extensively most resembles humansarrow_forward
