Question

The clownfish readily swims among the tentacles of the sea anemones; the parrotfish avoids them. One hypothesis for the clownfish's apparent immunity is that they slowly build a tolerance to the sea anemone's toxin. A second hypothesis is that a chemical in the mucus that coats the clownfish prevents the nematocysts from being triggered. Which of the following graphs supports the second, but not the first, of these hypotheses?

A) AB) BC) CD) D

Answer 1

The answer in terms of graph is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis may be defined as the particular or the proposed explanation of the particular phenomena. The statement or information can only become a hypothesis if it scientifically proved by the experiments.

The result of any experiment can be best explained in the graph forms. The graph forms results can be easily analyzed and easy to understand for the other observer as well. In the given graph, the clown fish has the large number of the non discharged nematocysts.
