Question

Question 10 (--/1 A researcher discovered a species of moth that lays its eggs on oak trees. Eggs are laid at two distinct times of the year: early in spring when the oak trees are flowering and in midsummer when flowering is past. Caterpillars from eggs that hatch in spring feed on oak flowers and look like oak flowers. But caterpillars that hatch in summer feed on oak leaves and look like oak twigs. The biologist caught many female moths from the same population and collected their eggs, putting at least one egg from each female into eight identical cups. The eggs hatched, and at least two larvae from each female were maintained in one of the four temperature and light conditions listed below. Environment Temperature (°C) Day Length (hours of sunlight)

Answer 1

The "Differences in air pressure due to differneces in elevation,trigger the development of differnt types of caterpillars" can not be accounted as the hypothesis for this experiment as the flowers and the tree leaves grew on almost same place (hight) of the tree. So this hypothesis is not acceptable.
