The population size is initially 100 plants and is increa\sing at a rate of 15% per day. After 10 days, the population size is 3200 plants. What is the growth rate of the population per day?
A. 10% per day
B. 15% per day
C. 20% per day

A. Uterus
B. Ovary
C. Fallopian Tube
D. Vagina
Question 9
The process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment is called
A. natural selection
B. mutation
C. genetic drift
D. gene flow
Question 10

A. Trachea
B. Bronchi
C. Alveoli
D. Diaphragm
Question 12
A species of bird has a beak shape that is adapted for eating seeds. The beak shape is determined by a \single gene with two alleles: B and b. The geneticist finds that the birds with the B allele have a beak shape that is 10% longer than the birds with the b allele. What is the effect of the B allele on the beak shape?
A. The B allele increases the beak shape by 10%.
B. The B allele decreases the beak shape by 10%.
C. The B allele has no effect on the beak shape.
D. The B allele increases the beak shape by 20%.

A. 1.01 atm
B. 2.02 atm
C. 3.03 atm
D. 4.04 atm
Question 14
A geneticist is studying the inheri\tance of a trait in a family. The trait is determined by a \single gene with two alleles: A and a. The geneticist finds that the offspring of two heterozygous parents (Aa x Aa) have a 25% chance of inheriting the A allele and a 75% chance of inheriting the a allele. What is the genotype of the parents?
A. Aa x Aa
B. AA x aa
C. Aa x aa
D. AA x Aa
Question 15
