In Arabidopsis, phot1 mutants have a normal avoidance response and a poor accumulation response, phot2 mutants lack the avoidance response but retain a fairly normal accumulation response, while phot1/phot2 double mutant lack both the avoidance and accumulation responses. These results indicate that,

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Phot1 plays a key role in the avoidance response, and that both phot1 and phot2 contribute to the accumulation response
  2. Phot2 plays a key role in the avoidance response, and that both phot1 and phot2 contribute to the accumulation response
  3. Phot2 plays a key role in the accumulation response, and that both phot1 and phot2 contribute to the accumulation response as well as in avoidance response 
  4. phot1 mutants in fact do not survive in the field under conditions of full sunlight due to photooxidative damage

Biologists performed an experiment with flies to examine the effects of population size on the maintenance of genetic variation  and  on  egg-to-adult survival.  From  a  large  source  population, they  randomly  assigned  eggs  to  three experimental  populations  of  size  N,  equal  to  20,  60,  and0100.  For  later  generations,  they  collected  N  eggs  from each  population  and  moved  them  into  identical  vials  that  co0ntained  f2re0sh  me4d0ium.  Th6e0y  coun8te0d  the  number  of adult flies that emerged and used tissue samples from the adults for genetic analyses. Genetic variation was measured by  scoring  alleles  at  several  polymorphic  loci  and  expressed  as  the  average  number  of  alleles  at  those  loci.  The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.

Based on Figure 1, which of the following best describes the change in genetic variation over time?
