Answer to Question #104150 in Zoology for John

Question

The scientist wanted to determine if two newly discovered populations of insects exchanged information with other members of the same population about the location of a food source decided to set up a systematic observation in which food was placed for the insects to find over a period of time the scientist recorded how many insects were found at the food sauce the scientist collected the following data

Population 1 was found to be less than 5 insects at food source and Population 2 had almost 19 insects at food source at the same time frame

Which of the following is the best conclusion that can be made regarding the data?
A. More population to organisms can be found the ecosystem than population one organism
B. Populations 1 and 2 are the same species but have different niches
C. Population 2 has an evolutionary advantage of a population 1
D. Unlike population 1 population 2 communicates with members of a species

Answer 1

C. Population 2 has an evolutionary advantage of a population 1 

Scientists found that there were more insects from the second population at the food source. The observation shows that the insects from the second population were better adapted to the search for food than the first population. This advantage could be caused by the presence of specific communications, higher sensitivity to food smell, faster motility, etc. However, the results of experiments do not reflect the role of communication.
