#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
The herbaceous plant Achillea lanulosa is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Phenotypic variation in the species has been extensively studied along an altitudinal gradient from sea level to over 3,000 meters. In California there is conspicuous variation in height; alpine plants are only several centimeters tall while those in the San Joaquin Valley may reach a height of 1.8 meters. Adaptation to different local environments also results in variation in physiological processes such as photosynthetic rate, resistance to cold, and the timing of dormancy.
Which of the following methods would be best to determine whether the phenotypic variation in Achillea lanulosa is due to genotypic variation?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
Given below are some behaviors strategies.
A) Fixed action pattern, complex sequence of behavior, Once released and continuous to completion, even when there is change in surrounding environment
B) natural selection select that territorial behavior that is benefit is greater than cost
C) Imprinting, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience
D) Donor benefits at a cost to the recipient, the behavior is altruistic; when the recipient benefits at a cost to the donor, the behavior is selfish.
