A fern plant is growing in the forest by Scott's house. The leaves of the fern plant are small and green. Scott often finds small caterpillars eating the leaves of the fern plant. Which of the following is an inherited characteristic of the fern plant? A. The shape of the fern plant’s leaves.
B. The location of the fern plant inside the forest.
C. The distance of the fern plant from Scott’s house.
D. The number of leaves that are eaten by caterpillars.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.

Atest cross can be used to -predict the phenotypes of a monohybrid cross -predict an unknown genotype of a purebred dominant plant -cross-breed dominant and recessive plants -give probabilities that a trait will appear
