Q1. Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) live in large groups in silk nests, or tents, which they build in trees. They are among the first insects to be active in early spring, when daily temperature fluctuates from freezing to very hot. Over the course of a day, they display striking differences in behaviour: early in the morning, they rest in a tightly packed group on the tent's east-facing surface. In mid afternoon, they are on it's under surface, each caterpillar hanging by a few of its legs. Suggest a hypothesis to explain this behaviour. How could you test it?

Q2. As a pea plant grows, its root cells divide by mitosis. If the diploid chromosome number of the plant is fourteen, how various chromosomes will each newly formed root cell have?
