Passage I
The whitefly Bemisia argentifolii is an insect that has 3 distinct life stages: egg, nymph ( juvenile), and adult. A study examined the effects of external temperature on the duration of each of the 3 life stages of B. argentifolii and on egg production by adult female B. argentifolii. Figure 1 shows, for each of 5 external temperatures, the average duration of each life stage. Figure 2 shows, for each of the 5 temperatures, the average number of eggs produced per female per day during the first 7 days of adult life.
4. Based on Figure 1, at 26°C, the nymph stage would most likely last:
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is H
Explanation
According to Figure 1, 26°C is between 25 and 27. According to the trend of the image, it can be seen that the value corresponding to the vertical axis of 26°C should also be between 25 and 27. Choose H
