Question

the graph is depicting the size of eggs and number of eggs for the mycalesis terminus butterfly. the right of the graph represents the mass of the eggs (solid blue) and the left side represents the number of eggs (striped blue)

Describe one realistic difference between host plants that might be affecting the numbers and sizes of eggs that a female lays on these plants.

Suppose the ability of a female to adjust her egg and clutch size is an adaptation in these butterflies. Based on the difference between host plants that you identified in Part C, describe and explain why that difference would impact how a female adjusts the size or number of eggs (choose only one of these). Your answer just needs to be possible, not necessarily true.
