If, in one population of pupfish all of the individuals have a blood pigment that is extraordinarily effective at carrying oxygen, but this trait is not seen in any of the other populations, what likely happened?
a) because oxygen was low where these pupfish lived, a new allele for an effective blood pigment arose.
b) this population was lucky to have an individual with a random mutation for an effective blood pigment, and the frequency of this allele was increased in subsequent generations through natural selection.
c) the ancestral population probably had this type of blood pigment, but it was lost through genetic drift in the other 29 populations.
d) the other populations did not need this pigment, so they did not evolve it.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.

Astudent completed a lab report. which correctly describes the difference between the "question" and "hypothesis' sections of her report? "question states what she is asking, and "hypothesis" states the result of her experiment "question" states what she is asking, and "hypothesis" states what she thinks the answer to that question is in 'if. then because" format. "question" describes what she is trying to find out, and "hypothesis" states the procedures and methods of data collection. "question" describes what she is trying to find out, and "hypothesis" states any additional information or prior knowledge about the question
