The government has a plan to limit the effects of deforestation. It involves planting new trees to replace some of the larger trees chopped down by deforestation. In year 5: 540 new trees will be planted In year 10: 900 additional new trees will be planted Figure out how many blocks of the deforested regions will be restored in the year 5 and year 10 grids. Choose a new color for the blocks that represent the reforested regions and make adjustments to your grids. Then use the Insert Image button to insert screen shots of the two grids in the answer space.

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.
