Question 1
What would be the percentage of the non-singing trait in female birds in Generations 4 and 5 if this
pattern continues?
The percentage of the non-singing female birds in generation 4 is 88% if this pattern continues. The percentage of the non-singing female birds in generation 5 is 98% if this pattern continues.
Question 2

The generation where there will be almost 100% non-singing female birds if there are no changes in the birds' environment and interactions would be generation 5.
Question 2
In which generation will there be almost 100% non-singing females if there are no changes in the
birds’ environment and interactions?

A possible scenario would be that there would be so many non-singing female birds from various species at a certain time due to adaptation. If the non-singing female birds kept growing, their predators would notice because they don't hear any noises, thus not being capable of feeding on baby birds, or the eggs. The predators would notice that something strange is going on because they aren't eating as much as they normally did in that general area. That outcome would be due to the non-singing female bird population growing. This could eventually cause their predators to possibly die off because their food chain might've depended heavily on the birds. The non-singing birds could start singing again because they might want to attract more male birds, and because they have noticed that they aren't being threatened as much anymore. This would happen over a course of many, many, many years though.
Question 3
In what possible scenario would the female birds evolve to having the singing trait?

Question 1
Explain why an increase in precipitation and in the number of nearby factories has a greater impact on the occurance of the mariflowers in changes in temperature, length of day, and invasive species.
The increase of precipitation and number of nearby factories has a greater impact on the occurance of mariflowers because some types of precipitation has acid in it, and the acid has a high pH level. Factories produce pollution through smog and smoke, and anything else it efferveces into the environment. All of those chemicals have higher pH levels than changes in temperature. The length of day does nothing that affects the mariflowers, all it does is either increase the amount of sunlight that flower gets, or it decreases the amount of sumlight the flower gets. Unless the invasive species has a chemical that is brought along with it, or something of that sort, it wouldn't affect the mariflower drastically like precipitation, and nearby factories.
