Abedus herberti (Giant water bug) only males carry the developing eggs on their backs until they hatch. The eggs are heavy and make males conspicuous to predators. The males have limited space on their backs and typically mate with larger females (no other traits are selected for). Larger females mate with more males due to larger females defending larger territories than smaller females. Answer the following and justify your answer for each. a. Sexual selection acting more strongly on males or females? b. Is the choosy sex males or females? c. Is the competative sex males or females?

Among the Great Apes, yet unlike our chimpanzee and bonobo 'cousins', as humans we combine a unique evolutionary blend of different physical and behavioral traits commonly identified with either 'pair-bonding' or 'tournament' species. Which of the following options below inaccurately matches our shared characteristics with each type? Select one: a. moderate to high degree of sexual dimorphisms - tournament b. moderate to highly monogamy in coupled relationships - tournament c. male mate pickiness - pair bonding d. high parental investment - pair bonding e. females selecting mates for parenting skill - pair bonding f. moderate to high variability in male reproductive success & aggression - tournament

Question 16 Stabilizing selection acts to change the frequency of one extreme form of a trait reduce the more extreme forms of a trait reduce the intermediate forms of a trait increase the population after a severe population drop increase the more extreme forms of a trait

Question 1 Review Concept 14.1 Match the term and its description. Each term can only be used once. a heritable feature that varies among individuals (such as flower | Choose color) each variant for a character | Choose ) the true-breeding parents [ Choose the hybrid offspring of the P generation |Choose )

Question 6 Calculate the dominant allele "B" frequency and the recessive allele frequency if the population has 750 plants with BB genotype, 220 plants with Bb genotype and 20 plants with bb genotype.

 2 populations of flightless grasshoppers (Population A and B) are separated by a river that contains hungry fish that will eat any insect that touches the water. Overtime, what would you expect to happen to these 2 populations if a new gene arises that allows Population A to leap across the river in one bound and How would you change your answer if Population B exhibits positive assortative mating for jumping style/distance ?

Please help me figure out this Evolutionary Biology question

Please explain how to get the answer for question 27, the correct answer is boxed in green:.

QUESTION 2 Suppose that the population from question #1 (data is in table below) is experiencing inbreeding depression (F=.25) (and no longer experiencing natural selection). Calculate the new expected genotype frequencies (f) in this population after one round of inbreeding. Please round to 3 decimal places. Genotype Number of Flies Adh Adh 595 Adh AdhS Adh Adh Total f'(Adh Adh- f'(Adh AdhS) f'(Adhs AdhS)- 310 95 1000
