Analyze the image shown here depicting six sampling sites in and around the Long Island Sound heading towards the Atlantic Ocean. A marine biologist samples mussels along the six sites in the sound. What hypothesis is most likely supported by the data?

A) Mussels at sample site 6 can tolerate a lower pH.
B) Mussels at sample site 1 can tolerate a higher salinity.
C) Mussels at sample site 3 can tolerate a higher light level.
D) Mussels at sample site 4 can tolerate the lowest dissolved oxygen levels.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) Mussels at sample site 1 can tolerate a higher salinity.

Explanation:

Answer:

B) All the mussel populations, sites A - D, are expected to have the same frequency of the lap94 allele.

Explanation:

Allelic frequency will vary proportionately; highest incidence of the allele should be found at site D. Variation exists. The mussels best adapted to survive in their locale, sites A - D, may or may not have the allele. But if the salinity of a locale is variable, we would expect the frequency of the allele to vary, with the highest frequency being close to the location with the greatest salinity, site D.
