You have a round pie plate filled with water. You carefully release a drop of red food coloring in the center of the plate until the water is faintly red. After waiting for a long time, the dye molecules in the pie plate will: A. Continue moving in the same manner as when the drop was first placed in the water. B. Slow down, because they have moved to a lower concentration area. C. Stop moving, because they have reached equilibrium. D. Speed up, because they are farther from other dye molecules and have more space to move.

Suppose a scientist measures the amount of dna per cell of a particular diploid species at various stages of meiosis. she finds that the meiotic cells contain 3.7 pg , 7.3 pg , or 14.6 pg of dna. match each stage of the cell cycle to the corresponding amount of dna contained within a cell at that stage.

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
