Document Summary

Characteristics: echinodermata free-living larval stages exhibit bilateral symmetry. Calcareous endoskelton (either as plates or scattered ossicles) Most with no ability to osmoregulate (so avoid brackish water) Characteristics:phylum echinodermata most adults exhibit 5-point (pentamerous) radial symmetry. Pedicellariae i. e. minute pincer-like structures on the outer surface of many members of this phylum. Dermal branchiae (papulae) i. e. projections of the coelomic cavity with respiratory & excretory function. A mesodermal spiny endoskeleton of plates or ossicles (sometimes spiny) Body surfaces designated oral (bearing mouth) or aboral. Consist of 2 3 calcium carbonate ossicles (valves) Ends can be moved apart and together by small muscles. Capture of live prey fluid-filled canals leading to tube feet together with dermal ossicles form a hydraulic system. Dermal branchiae are projections of the coelomic cavity covered with epidermis and lined with peritoneum. Ciliary action moves fluids in opposite direction (countercurrent) Have a central disc with tapering arms extending outward.

QUESTION 33

Cotton-topped tamarins are small primates with tufts of long white hair on their heads. While studying these creatures, you notice that males with longer hair get more opportunities to mate and father more offspring. To test the hypothesis that having longer hair is adaptive in these males, you should _____.

		test whether other traits in these males are also adaptive
		look for evidence of hair in ancestors of tamarins
		determine if hair length is heritable
		test whether males with shaved heads are still able to mate

QUESTION 39

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? 22.2

		The percentage of pink flowers should increase over time.
		The percentage of white flowers should increase over time.
		The distribution of flower colors should not change.
		The distribution of flower colors should randomly fluctuate over time.
