Two frog populations (same species) living in two neighboring lakes sing slightly different courtship songs. Increased irrigation makes the land between the two lakes wetter, allowing frogs to expand their ranges to the area between the lakes. Females in both populations prefer loud frogs to quieter frogs but do not distinguish between the two slightly different songs. Assuming that courtship song differences have a genetic basis, predict what will likely happen to the songs of the two frog populations.

A. You cannot predict a change in the courtship songs at the two lakes.
B. Disruptive selection will cause the songs to differentiate even more.
C. The songs will become more similar to each other.
D. Males will become louder.
E. Genetic drift will cause the songs to differentiate even more.

Answer:

C. The songs will become more similar to each other.

Explanation:

To answer this question, first, you need to remember that both populations belong to the same species, so they can mate because there is no reproductive barrier. The only limiting physical factor impeding individuals of both groups to cross was the piece of land before the land got wetter. So once populations got together, individuals can easily mate.

One population´s males exhibit a courtship song that slightly differs from the one of the other group. This difference has a genetic basis. But females hardly notice the difference. All of them prefer loud frogs to quieter frogs, independently of the population to which they belong.

So when the two populations get together, individuals get mixed. Females do not recognize males of their group, and during the breeding season, all females will mate the most with louder males of any of the population. So females from population A might mate with males from population B, and females from population B might mate with males from population A. So after mating season, there is also a genetic mixture between populations.

The new generations will carry elements of both genotypes. So males´ songs will be even more similar to each other. Songs will become more similar to each other because individuals of both populations are mixed and mated, and their genes intercrossed, producing new individuals with genes of both populations.

Pioneer species are species which colonize previously uncolonized land, usually leading to ecological succession. They are the first organisms to start the chain of events leading to a livable biosphere or ecosystem. Why is a lichen most likely to be a pioneer species?

A The mutualistic relationship of species forming a lichen allows it to survive independently.

B The lichen is fast growing and provides a nutritious food source for many other species.

C The lichen does not require sunlight to survive.

D The lichen is a decomposer that digests rocks and forms soil.​

The teacher asked the students to design an experiment that would demonstrate that temperature will affect the pressure of a gas. Which of the following would be a valid experiment that shows the correct relationship between gas temperature and pressure?

A.
The students want to test the air pressure of bicycle tires. They check the pressure of the tires after letting the bike sit outside in very cold, winter weather for several hours. Then they bring the bike inside to a room temperature environment for several hours to warm up and check the pressure again. They find that the tires in the colder temperature showed a low pressure and that the pressure increased after the tires were able to warm up.

B.
The students want to test the air pressure of bicycle tires. They check the pressure of the tires after letting the bike sit outside in very cold, winter weather for several hours. They then bring the bike inside to a room temperature environment for several hours to warm up and then check the pressure again. They find that the colder temperature showed a high pressure in the tires and that the pressure decreased after the tires were able to warm up.

C.
The students wanted to test the air pressure in a plastic bottle of soda by comparing two bottles. They put one soda in a freezer for 12 hours and the second soda was left on the counter at room temperature for 12 hours. They found that the soda that had been in the freezer had burst, but the one on the counter was easy to squeeze and showed some give. They determined that the cold temperature had increased the pressure of the gas in the bottle causing it to burst.

D.
The students wanted to test the air presssure in a plastic bottle of soda by comparing two bottles. They put one in a freezer for 12 hours and the second soda was left on the counter at room temperature for 12 hours. They found that the pressure of the bottle which was in the freezer had remained the same. The pressure of the gas in the bottle on the counter increased, causing it to push on the sides of the bottle making it harder to squeeze.
