Which of the following investigations would shed the most light on the future distribution of organisms in temperate regions that are faced with climate change?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms

  1. Remove, to the mineral soil, all of the organisms from an experimental plot, and monitor the colonization of the area over time in terms of both species diversity and abundance.

  2. Look at the climatic changes that occurred since the last ice age and how species redistributed as glaciers melted, then make predictions on future distribution in species based on past trends.

  3. Compare and contrast the flora and fauna of warm/cold/dry/wet climates to shed light on how they evolved to be suited to their present-day environment.

  4. Quantify the impact of man's activities on present-day populations of threatened and endangered species to assess the rate of extirpation and extinction.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology

The effects of pH on enzymes depends on a combination of factors: 
(a) Most enzymes are active within only a narrow pH range, typically 5 to 9. 
(b) the ionization states of the amino acid residues involved in the catalytic activity of the enzyme
(c) the variation of protein structure (usually significant only at extremes of pH).
