Question
As a follow‑up experiment, researchers placed the Daphnia that were exposed to the Notonecta chemical cues into a tank without chemical cues. The Daphnia reproduced asexually, and the offspring developed in the tank without chemical cues. Predict the relative size of the crest height and width of offspring raised in the tank without chemical cues as compared to the parent Daphnia.

- What type of mating system developed in Round 1 without male parental involvement? Why? What type of mating system developed in Round 2 with male parental involvement? Why? If males and females had the same number of sperm, would the two rounds differ? howarrow_forwardIn the fish Species a, the expression of different combinations of four Hox genes results in structural differences in tissues and organs along the anterior-posterior axis. Figure 3 shows the expression pattern of four genes, i.e. Genes 1 – 4, and the tissue produced along the embryonic anterior - posterior plane of fish Species a wild type. The influence of Hox genes on the formation of specific types of tissue can be determined by introducing gain-of-function and loss-of-function mutations in specific Hox genes. Looking at Figure 3, predict what would happen to each one of the four types of tissues, if the expression of gene 3 was expanded anteriorly by a gain-of-function mutation so that the pattern of gene 3 expression would be the same as that of gene 2.arrow_forwardIs sexual selection or natural selection the driver for the differences between males and females? a. In the hollyhock weevil (Rhopalapion longirostre) the females a have much longer rostrum. The length of rostrum is correlated with offspring survival but not mating frequency. b. In the marine iguana species (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) on the islands near Ecuador the males often exceed expected size on a given island. Male size is correlated with survival and number of mating events.arrow_forward
- How would self-sacrifice of male redback spiders be an adaptive behaviour? Select one: a. When males meet a female and self-sacrifice, it activates enzymes that make his sperm more fit and able to fertilize more eggs. b. Males are able to mate with one female, then mate with another female nearby, before being devoured by the first female. C. Males only use self-sacrificing behaviour once they have mated with several females and have exhausted their sperm supplies. d. The chance of a male meeting more than one female is quite low; self-sacrifice maximizes mating time with and sperm transfer to any female the male finds.arrow_forwardSelect all of the traits provided below that appear in this specimen:arrow_forwardExplain the rationales behind ecological and social models of the evolution of primate cognitive abilities.

- What are the key behavioral characteristics of the patas monkey? For example, preferred habitat, activity pattern (diurnal, nocturnal), ecology, diet (insectivore, gumivore, frugivore, folivore, etc.) locomotor pattern or patterns, and social structure. Include observations of sexual dimorphism if present in this species.arrow_forwardMules are hybrids of donkeys and horses, and they are sterile.

However, a few unique white feathered individuals have occasionally been noted. These white feathered individuals are not well-camouflaged, and are easily spotted by larger predators. Recently, scientists noted that a black feathered condor had mated with a white-feathered condor, and their three chicks all appeared to have gray feathers. Closer examination of these condor chicks revealed that the chicks actually possessed a mixture of black feathers and white feathers, giving them a gray appearance from a distance.
