Which explanation most likely accounts for the increase in the number of male butterflies in the five years after the initial parasite problem. A few years ago the population of male blue moon butterflies on the island of Samoa declined. One hypothesis for the decline of the male butterflies is that a
parasite infected the cells of female butterflies. The parasite was passed to
offspring through the females' eggs and killed the male butterfly embryos. At
one point during the decline, nearly all the butterflies in the population were
females, but after five years the number of males in the population increased
significantly

answer; i believe that the correct answer is(d) nondisjunction during meiosis;

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.

when the displaced particles are perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, is called a transverse wave, whereas in longitudinal wave the displace practices are parallel to the direction of the wave.

in the given image:

first image shows - longitudinal wave

second image shows - transverse wave

third image shows - longitudinal wave

fourth image shows - longitudinal wave
