To determine the effect of intra-specific competition on the growth of saplings of Eucalyptus dives, an experiment was designed in which two sets of pots were used. In the first set only 1 sapling was planted per pot. To check for the effect of intra-specific competition on allocation to each set. the results have been graphically indicated below. Which of the following conclusions can be best drawn from the study ?

When trees become iron deficient, their leaves turn yellow prematurely. A botanist is testing iron doped fertilizers on maple trees with iron deficiencies. The botanist has selected 200 maple trees in the state of Wisconsin that have been identified as having an iron deficiency Half of the trees are randomly chosen to recieve the iron-doped fertilizer, while the other half are given a fertilizer without iron. The results from the test show that trees adminstered the iron doped fertilizer had fewer premature yellow leaves, indicating an increase in their iron levels. Which of the following statements best describes the results of the test?

The genotypes of a plant variety were TtHh, Tthh, ttHh and tthh, where T = tallness and H= hairy stem. Which one of the following crosses would produce progeny giving a phenotypic ratio approximately 1:1:1:1 ?

The following summaries describe some published research results. Research 1. Wu and Li (1985): The comparative analysis of homologous genes between human and mouse genomes suggests that the evolutionary rate of homologous genes was higher in the mouse lineage than in the human lineage. Research 2. Smith and Donohe (2008) : The plant families Caprifoliacease, Asclepiadeceae and Lamiaceae are compsed of both herbaceous and arborescent speciers. The comparative analysis of homologous genes between the herbaceous and arborescent species within a single plant family suggests that the evolutionary rate of homologous genes in herbaceous lineages were faster than of arborescent lineages in all three plant familes. Research 3. Gilman et al. (2009): The comparative analysis of 130 homologous mitochondrial genes between a sister species pair of vertebrates from the temperate region and from the tropical region indicate that the base substitution rates of homologous genes from the tropical region are 1.7 times faster than that of the temperate region. Based on these studies which of the following statements best describes the common evolutionary processes in plant and animal genes?

743 children from the United States, aged 6 through 11, were tested to see if they were overweight . The data are shown in the table below. In 2014 the total population of children between 6 and 11 years old, inclusive , in the United States was about 74.3 million. If the test results are used to estimate information about children across the country, which of the following is the best estimate of the total number of children between 9 and 11 years old in the United States who were overweight in 2014 ?

A healthy Croton plant bearing variegated leaves was kept in a dark cupboard to destarch it after which it was placed in sunlight for a few hours. One of the leaves was then plucked and an outline of the leaf marking the green and the non-green regions was drawn. The leaf was then tested for starch. Using the above information, answer the following questions State the aim of the above experiment.
