During  a  field  trip,  an  instructor  touched  a  moth  resting  on  a  tree  trunk.  The  moth  raised  its  forewings  to  reveal large eyespots on its hind wings. The instructor asked why the moth lifted its wings. One student answered that sensory  receptors  had  fired  and  triggered  a  neuronal  reflex  culminating  in  the  contraction  of  certain  muscles.  A second student responded that the behaviour might frighten predators. Which statement best describes these explanations?

#10. Ecological Principles
  1. The first explanation is correct, but the second is incorrect.
  2. The first explanation refers to proximate causation, whereas the second refers to ultimate causation. 
  3. The first explanation is biological, whereas the second is philosophical.
  4. The first explanation is testable as a scientific hypothesis, whereas the second is not

#8. Inheritance Biology

In the pearl-millet plant, color is determined by three alleles at a single locus: Rp1 (red), Rp2 (purple), and rp (green). Red is dominant over purple and green, and purple is dominant over green (Rp1 > Rp2 > rp). What will be expected phenotypes and ratios of offspring produced by the Rp1/rp × Rp2/rp crosses?
