Question 66

Multiple Choice
Use the following information when answering the corresponding question(s).
Some plants have continually produced secondary defense compounds.Other plants are induced to form secondary defense compounds when they are injured.Corn seedling leaves that are chewed on by the caterpillars of a type of cutworm moth emit immediate volatile chemicals (LOX products),and after 6 hours large amounts of terpenoid compounds are released into the air.The terpenoids are released not only from the leaf being chewed,but from all leaves of the plant.The terpenoid compounds attract a parasitoid wasp female that lays her eggs on the caterpillar.When the wasp larvae hatch,they eat and kill the moth caterpillar.(T.C.J.Turlings,J.H.Loughrin,P.J.McCall,U.S.R.Rose,W.J.Lewis,and J.H.Tumlinson.1995.How caterpillar-damaged plants protect themselves by attracting parasitic wasps.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 92:4169-74. )
-Refer to the paragraph on how caterpillar-damaged plants protect themselves by attracting parasitic wasps.How could you test the hypothesis that caterpillar saliva and a wound are both necessary to attract the parasitoid wasps?
