1. A given plant population is pollinated exclusively by a particular bee. A wet spring leads to a disease that wipes out all of the bees in the plant's habitat. What is the likely outcome for this plant population?
a) A mutation will arise which will allow the plants to be pollinated by other insects.
b) Because they need to change their pollinators, some plant individuals will adapt to be pollinated by other insects.
c) This plant population will die off.
d) Enough variation exists within the plant population to allow it to adapt to any environmental challenge.
C is correct
Which organelle is the "recipe card" of the cell?

True or False: In order to make a clone of Dolly, scientists removed a reproductive (somatic) cell from an adult female sheep. They then moved the nucleus from the body cell into an egg cell whose nucleus was removed. The egg cell with its new nucleus then developed into an embryo, which was implanted into a surrogate mother. The surrogate carried the fetus to term and when it was born, it was an exact clone of the original sheep, Dolly.
False: A somatic cell is a body cell, not a reproductive cell.
You have until I finish reading this question to answer what place am I describing: This is a land of bog and mire found on North America. Here the wildlife will try to devour you whole at every occasion, these scaled monstrosities have maws which can snap you in half in a second. And while many are attracted by it‘s tropical allure, the many storms that plague the area may dissuade possible citizens, though many still live there. But this land may not exist in its state for much longer, as it may soon be swallowed by the sea, as the world warms.
