|
|
The ants are responding to a chromosomal mutation in ant X.
|
|
|
The chemical is exhibiting a feedback mechanism.
|
|
|
The live ants must continue this behavior until they have eliminated ant X.
|
|
|
The chemical acts as a stimulus for a particular behavior.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -If a live ant from the colony, ant X, is sprayed with a chemical characteristic of dead ants, the live ants will repeatedly throw this ant out of the anthill until they can no longer detect the chemical on ant X. What is the best explanation for this behavior? The ants are responding to a chromosomal mutation in ant X.
Detailed explanation-2: -When ants see a dead ant they carry their dead bodies out of the ant nest and get rid of it in the midden. The midden is a pile, it is like a dumpster which also acts as a cemetery. Worker ants move the body of a dead ant to prevent contamination of queen ants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is a chemical process that uses oxygen to convert the chemical energy stored in organic molecules into another form of chemical energy-a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cells in plants and animals then use ATP as their main energy supply.
