A biologist studied a population of squirrels for 15 years. During that time, the population was never fewer than 30 squirrels and never more than 45. Her data showed that over half of the squirrels born did not survive to reproduce, because of competition for food and predation. In a single generation, 90% of the squirrels that were born lived to reproduce, and the population increased to 80. Which inference(s) about this population might be true?
Question options:
a. The amount of available food may have increased.
b. The number of predators may have decreased.
c. The squirrels of subsequent generations should show greater levels of genetic variation than previous generations, because squirrels that would not have survived in the past will now survive.
d. A and B only
e. A, B, and C

Ivan is looking at a cross section of a stem taken from a vascular plant. he sees two different types of vascular tissue: the xylem, which is closer to the center of the stem, and the phloem, located around the xylem, closer to the outside of the stem. how do these two structures work together in a living plant?

Answers to mastering biology drag the labels to their appropriate locations to complete the punnett squares for morgan's reciprocal cross. drag blue labels onto the blue targets to indicate the genotypes of the parents and offspring. drag pink labels onto the pink targets to indicate the genetic makeup of the gametes (sperm and egg). labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all. hints
