The graph describes the population of dandelions in a field over the course of one summer. The graph is titled Population of Dandelions, and plots number of organisms against time. The shape of the curve is gradually increasing at first, and then becomes very steep.

Which statement best describes the growth of the dandelions?

A. Linear growth occurs because the field provides abundant but limited resources during the summer.
B. Logistic growth occurs because the field provides unlimited resources during the summer.
C. Exponential growth occurs because the field provides unlimited resources during the summer.
D. Fluctuating growth patterns occur because the population reached the carrying capacity of the field during the summer.

Which statement about inheritance is true? o girls get most of their traits from their moms, boys get most of their traits from their dads. o male offspring will always have an x-linked genetic disease if the mom is a carrier o fathers always determine the gender of the offspring in humans. o males never have y chromosomes.

Scenario 5 1) take 10 red and 10 black beans and place them, mixed, on the table. record the starting phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your starting population in the table provided (generation 0). 2) act as a predator. “capture” as many organisms as you can until you have reduced the population to three organisms. put them aside. at this point, the predators die. 3) the remaining organisms each produce 2 clonal offspring. multiply your organisms accordingly and allow them to mix on the table. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 1). 4) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 2). 5) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 3).
