The Experiment in Which Drosophila Flies Were Raised at a Higher-Than-Normal

question 89

Multiple Choice

The experiment in which Drosophila flies were raised at a higher-than-normal oxygen concentration led to which of the following conclusions?

• A) Fly body size is constrained because there are not enough alleles that increase body size.

• C) At normal oxygen concentration levels, fly body size is under strong directional selection.
• D) Fly body size would likely increase if flies were raised at lower-than-normal oxygen concentrations.
• E) Increased oxygen levels appear to have little effect on fly body size, even after many generations.
