Question

Figure 3.1 Droughts and flowering time. Here the data are represented as box and whisker plots: In each, the central line represents median flowering time, and the shaded areas denote the 25th to 75th percentiles. The extended lines beyond the shaded regions represent the 10th and 90th percentiles. The dots show the 5th and 95th percentiles. Which statement is correct, according to the figure above? Descendant populations of the mustard plant growing after the severe 2000-2004 drought flowered much earlier in the season than those from predrought populations. Descendant populations of the mustard plant growing after the severe 2000-2004 drought flowered much later in the season than those from predrought populations. Hybrids flowered much later in the season than those from predrought populations. None of the above. B and C.

Explanation / Answer

(a) Since median flowering time of Descendant population is less so Descendant populations of the mustard plant growing after the severe 2000-2004 drought flowered much earlier in the season than those from predrought populations.
