Complete the following analysis and record your responses to the questions in the space provided below.
1. Restate your hypotheses about the temperatures of the three different thermometers and indicate whether or not
they were supported.
2. Briefly describe what you observed while recording the different temperatures.
3. Create a line graph that plots time on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis. Label the data for each of the three
thermometers.
4. Why do you think the temperatures varied? Can you think of another every day example that mimics the rising
temperatures of trapped air?

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
