Stomata from intact, attached leaves of Arabidopsis illuminated with blue, red, and green light in a growth chamber, increases and decreases their aperture in response to light.

 

Find the CORRECT statements from the above graph.

i) Stomatal aperture increases when the green light is turned off, and close when the green light is turned on again

ii) Stomata from the phototropin-less double mutant phot1/phot2 respond to blue light and open further when green light is turned off

iii) stomata from the zeaxanthin less mutant npq1 do not respond to blue light and least effect to opening of the stomata further when green light is turned off

iv) the npq1 mutant and phot1/phot2 double mutant response indicate that the green reversal of the blue-light response requires zeaxanthin but also phototropin

In a particular species of mammal black hair (B) is dominant to green hair (b) and red eyes (R) are dominant to white eyes (r). If a BbRr individual is mated with a bbrrindividual the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 1 black-red : 1 black-white: 1 green-red : 1 green-white. However, when you mate these individuals you find that the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 6 black-red :1 black-white : 1 green-red : 6 green-white. What could account for this difference?

Claytonia virginica is a woodland spring herb with flowers that vary from white, to pale pink, to bright pink. Slugs prefer to eat pink-flowering over white-flowering plants (due to chemical differences between the two), and plants experiencing severe herbivory are more likely to die. The bees that pollinate this plant also prefer pink to white flowers, so that Claytonia with pink flowers have greater relative fruit set than Claytonia with white flowers. A researcher observes that the percentage of different flower colors remains stable in the study population from year to year. Given no other information, if the researcher removes all slugs from the study population, what do you expect to happen to the distribution of flower colors in the population over time?
