Question

Some monkey flowers (Mimulus guttatus) living near the sites of copper mines can grow in soil containing high concentrations of copper, which is toxic to most plants. Copper tolerance is a heritable trait The map below shows the area near an old copper mine, which contaminated the nearby sol with copper. A stream flows past the mine toward the lake at the bottom right of the map. mine shaft Key Copper-certannated soa uncontaminated soil Sites where nearty 100%of the monkey-lower plants are copper tolerant at 0.5 pa/om O sites where less than 20% of the monkey-flower plants are copper tolerant © Pearson Educaton, Inc. h of the statements below are true. Select the three statements that are true. View Available Hint(s) Natural selection favors copper tolerance in al soils near the old mine, not only in the contaminated soils. O Copper-tolerant plants are found only in contaminated soils. The population that existed before mining must have included both copper-tolerant and copper-intolerant plants. Nearly 100% of monkey flowers growing in copper-contaminated soil are copper tolerant If you were to test monkey flowers growing on the shore of the lake, you would expect nearly 100% of them to be copper toe art. Copper contamination in the soil created copper-tolerant plants Submit Low Disk Space
