Question
The peacock butterfly hibernate around seven to eight month. These butterflies have to undergo very high predation pressure. Therefore, these butterflies have evolved some specific antipredator defence. When the butterfly are attacked by their predators, they dramatically change their appearence. The eyespots of the forewing are bulged out and sound of the hindwing produces hissing noice try to fear their enemies. Therefore, these butterfly provide the perfect example of auditory and visual defence mechanism.
Plants sometimes use other organisms as defences against herbivores. Provide two examples of biological defences used by plants to reduce the negative effects of herbivory. For each of them indicate what are the costs for the plant.
Who are antitakeover defences designed to protect?

The “butterfly effect” describes a situation in which a minor change in input (eg, a butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world) can have a major effect on output (eg, a windstorm developing in another part of the world). This aspect of chaotic systems illustrates their property of: a. linearity. b. preordained periodic behavior. c. the fractionation of outputs. d. the reiterative feedback loop.
Only b please!! A butterfly starts its life as a caterpillar, then transforms into a butterfly and then dies. Let x1(t), x2(), and x3(t) be the number of caterpillars, live butterflies and dead butterflies, respectively, at any given time t. Suppose that () the rate at which caterpillars are born is ri x2( (i) the rate at which caterpillars are transformed into butterflies is r2xi(t). (ii) the rate at which butterflies die is r3x2(t) Then.... (a) What is the dynamical...
The Indian peacock is well known for its extravagant iridescent blue-green tail plumage. When courting the peahen, peacocks will fan out their tail feathers to make an impressive display. Birds possessing at least one copy of the dominant gene (P_) will have the peacock plumage but birds bearing the homozygous recessive genotype pp will have the peahen plumage. Peahens are usually dull gray or brown in color regardless of genotype. Peahens never develop the peacock tail plumage and those bearing...
