  1. Agrobacterium infects plants and causes them to form tumors. You determine that tumor formation requires a large amount of the plant's energy for tissue formation. How might this change the number of offspring a plant produces, and what is the most likely explanation for this change? A) The number of offspring should increase, because in general, illness increases the reproductive output of organisms. B) The number of offspring should increase, because the bacteria will provide energy for the plant. C) The number of offspring should decrease, because the plant will divert energy from reproduction to tumor formation. D) There should be no effect of infection on offspring production, because energy for reproduction is independent of infection. Answer: C Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying/Analyzing V&C Core Concept: S V&C Core Comp: PS LO: 1. Section: 1. Use the following information when answering the corresponding question(s). In 1668, Francesco Redi performed a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into eight identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: Instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze excluded the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat.
  2. Refer to the paragraph on Redi's experiments. What hypothesis was being tested in the initial experiment with open versus sealed jars? A) Spontaneous generation is more likely during the long days of summer. B) The type of meat used affects the likelihood of spontaneous generation. C) Maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies. D) Spontaneous generation can occur only if meat is exposed to air.

C) The experiment supports the hypothesis that spontaneous generation occurs in rotting meat. D) The experiment supports the hypothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flies.
