The Tables Give Production Possibilities Data for Two Countries, Alpha $\quad$

question 90

Multiple Choice

The tables give production possibilities data for two countries, Alpha and Beta, which have populations of equal size. $\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\text { Alpha's production possibilities }$
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline & \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { D } & \text { E } \\\hline \text { Fish (Tons) } & 80 & 60 & 40 & 20 & 0 \\\hline \text { Chips (Tons) } & 0 & 5 & 10 & 15 & 20 \\\hline\end{array}$ $\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\text { Beta's production possibilities }$
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline& \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{E} \\\hline \text { Fish (Tons) } & 240 & 180 & 120 & 60 & 0 \\\hline \text { Chips (Tons) } & 0 & 10 & 20 & 30 & 40\\\hline\end{array}$ Assume the production possibilities in Beta double at alternatives A through E, while remaining as shown in the table for Alpha. As a result, Beta should

• A) continue to specialize in producing chips.
• B) continue to specialize in fishing.
• C) no longer specialize and trade.
• D) specialize both in fishing and in producing chips and sell the surplus to Alpha.

Recognize that adaptations are not solely genetically determined but result from the interaction of genetic information and the environment.

Grasp the role of environmental factors in the development of social and solitary phenotypes within a species.

Acknowledge the dynamics of gene expression changes across the lifespan of organisms like honey bees and their behavioral implications.

Understand the significance of homeobox genes in the evolutionary conservation and developmental organization across diverse species.
