Robert Bakewell is attributed to being the inventor of selective breeding in the 1700’s. During this time, other farmers allowed their cattle to remain together and mate randomly but Robert separated the male cattle from the female cattle on his farm to control their breeding (Encyclopedia Britannica, 08/2013). Which of the following is the MOST reasonable question a student interviewing Mr. Bakewell should ask?

well for one plants are always the producer, so a is the answer. a wolf is more of the consumer(predator) and the deer is the prey so i know those two are out of the question. also mushrooms are fungi/fungus so a is the producer.

the potatoes have high sugar concentrations and although these potatoes were different we could seethe effects that their sugar concentrations had in different environments. for example, the potatoes in sample a, were placed in pure water. this created a hypertonic environment and caused the potatoes to draw in water from its surroundings. we saw the opposite happen with the potatoes in sample b when placed in the sodium chloride solution. the potatoes in this case were in a hypotonic solution and therefore lost water to their surroundings.
