White striped clover case study answers

Propose a reason why one type of clover might be found in the depressions and another type on the hills. 2. Provide another example of a polymorphism you have observed in an animal group. 2. Sketch the coast of Long Island as it is described in the paragraph above, showing the types of organism and landscape and where they can be found.

Part 1 - “I’m Looking Over…” White clover (Trifolium repens), a small perennial plant, is found throughout the world, and has two forms. One variant has entirely green leaves (plain) and the other has green leaves with a prominent white stripe (striped). Do an internet search for clover to see if you can readily identify each type.

One type of clover is more common in shallow depressions while the other type is more likely to be found on low hills. When organisms of the same group or species have different phenotypes, they are referred to as polymorphisms.

To understand why cyanide producing/striped clover is found at a higher frequency in North Carolina than in Minnesota, you must consider the “fitness” of each variant in the different habitats available in the two states. Fitness is determined by the ability of an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce in a particular habitat.
