4 | P a g e https://www.stuvia.com/en-us/user/AllStudyGuides The following experiment is used for the correspond ing question(s). 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 th e 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 su mmer 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 caugh t many female moths from the same population and collected their eggs. He put at leas t one egg from each female into eight identical cups. The eggs hatched, and at least two larvae fro m each female were maintained in one of the four temperature and light conditions listed below. In each of the four environments, one of the caterp illars was fed oak flowers; the other, oak leaves. Thus, there were a total of eight treatment groups (4 environments × 2 diets). 13) Refer to the figure above. Which one of the fol lowing is NOT a plausible hypothesis to explain the differences in caterpillar appearance o bserved in this population? A) The longer day lengths of summer trigger the dev elopment of twiglike caterpillars. B) The cooler temperatures of spring trigger the de velopment of flowerlike caterpillars. C) Differences in air pressure, due to differences in elevation, trigger the development of different types of caterpillars. D) Differences in diet trigger the development of d ifferent types of caterpillars.

5 | P a g e https://www.stuvia.com/en-us/user/AllStudyGuides 14) Refer to the figure above. In every case, cater pillars that feed on oak flowers looked like oak flowers. In every case, caterpillars that were rais ed on oak leaves looked like twigs. These results support which of the following hypotheses? A) The longer day lengths of summer trigger the dev elopment of twiglike caterpillars. B) Differences in air pressure, due to elevation, t rigger the development of different types of caterpillars. C) Differences in diet trigger the development of d ifferent types of caterpillars. D) The differences are genetic. A female will produ ce either all flowerlike caterpillars or all twiglike caterpillars. Answer: C Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying/Analyzing V&C Core Concept: SF, E V&C Core Comp: PS LO: 1.4 Section: 1.4 15) Refer to the figure above. Recall that eggs fro m the same female were exposed to each of the eight treatments used. This aspect of the experimen tal design tested which of the following hypotheses? A) The longer day lengths of summer trigger the dev elopment of twiglike caterpillars. B) Differences in air pressure, due to elevation, t rigger the development of different types of caterpillars. C) Differences in diet trigger the development of d ifferent types of caterpillars. D) The differences are genetic.

6 | P a g e https://www.stuvia.com/en-us/user/AllStudyGuides 16) Recall the caterpillar experiment in which cate rpillars born in the spring looked like flowers, and caterpillars born in the summer looked like twi gs. What is the most likely selective advantage for this difference in body shape? A) Looking like their food sources allows the cater pillars to move through their environment more efficiently. B) Development into the adult moth form is faster f or caterpillars shaped like twigs than like flowers. C) Looking like their food source lets the caterpil lars blend into their surroundings, reducing predation. D) Looking like their food source will increase the caterpillars' feeding efficiency; this would increase their growth rate and survival rate.
