Cocklebur will not flower if exposed to 8 hours of dark and 16 hours of light. It will flower if exposed to 16 hours of dark and 8 hours of light. However, if the 16 hours of dark is interrupted with a brief period of light the cocklebur will not flower. What triggers cocklebur to flower

Photoperiodism

Explanation:

The process explained in the question is called "Photoperiodism" which refers to the plants' reaction to the length of the dark and light period in a day.

When the dark period is interrupted with a certain period of artificial lighting, the plant thinks that the day had a longer period where it's "light" than it is "dark" so it gets tricked into flowering. Same concept can be applied in reverse for the plants who flower during longer periods of dark.

I hope this answer helps.

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
