Clausen and colleagues proposed two hypotheses to explain this variation within a species: (1) There are genetic differences between populations of plants found at different elevations. (2) The species has developmental flexibility and can assume tall or short growth forms, depending on local abiotic factors. If you had seeds from yarrow plants found at low and high elevations, how would you test these hypotheses

Which of the following observations darwin shape his concept of descent with modification? a) species diversity declines farther from the equator. b) fewer species live on islands than on the nearest continents. c) birds can be found on islands located farther from the mainland than the birdsê¹ maximum nonstop flightdistance. d) south american temperate plants are more similar to the tropical plants of south america than to thetemperate plants of europe. e) earthquakes reshape life by causing mass extinctions.
