Planning Introduction Based on the stimulus provided, that limpets have a swimming planktonic larval stage that enables the offspring of Patella vulgata to be dispersed, I have developed the following hypothesis to investigate at which shore heights are different age groups of limpets found. Hypothesis There will be a significant difference between the ratios of juvenile and adult limpets at lower shore heights to that of higher shore heights. Prediction At low shore heights the frequency of juveniles found will be less compared to that a higher shore heights. This is reflected in the ratio of juveniles to adults will be greater at low shore compared to the ratio of juveniles to adults at high shore heights. Several factors influence my prediction there are as follows; * At the planktonic larval stage the offspring is carried by the waves this limit's the initial shore height where the limpets settle, giving one reason why they are more likely to...
