Trivia: In every beehive, there is one queen bee who lays all the eggs. If an egg is not fertilized, it hatches into a male bee, called a drone. If an egg is fertilized, it hatches into a lady worker bee, which does not lay any eggs.
a. Consider a drone. How many parents, grandparents, great grandparents, great-great-grandparents, great-great-great-grandparents, great-great-great-great grandparents does it have?
b. Write a mathematical sentence that can be used to represent the number of grandparents a drone has during a particular generation.

- hy is it important to support research on the social, cultural, and psychological aspects of reproduction? Group of answer choices: Freer trade will increase per capita income and raise standards of living. This will stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty. The rich-poor gap could narrow decreasing social strife. More motivation is needed to regulate population growth. A higher standard of living and increased job opportunities could result.arrow_forwardSuppose that there is a 50% of a male child being born. A couple wishes to have exactly two female children in their family. They will have children until this condition is fulfilled. What is the probability that the family has at most four children?

As a result the male is not able to increase reproductive success by mating with multiple partners. Therefore which of the following about sexual selection in this species is not true? Females are more likely to develop traits that signal genetic quality to males. Females will be able to increase reproductive success with increased mating partners. Sexual selection in males will lead them to be choosy with what females they mate with. Sexual selection in males will lead them to mate indiscriminately when they find a female.arrow_forward

Most voles live only a few months; voles born in the Spring are alive during the warm summer season, while voles born in the Fall are alive during the cold winter season. The environment experienced by the mother during pregnancy determines coat thickness in the offspring. Now consider a situation in which the environment the vole mothers during pregnancy changes, such that voles born in the Fall now have thin coats. Assume in this case that the Winters are still cold. This scenario provides an example of which of the following hypotheses? a.Environment mismatch hypothesis b.Endocrine disruptor hypothesis c.Thrifty genotype hypothesis d.Plasticity first hypothesisarrow_forwardLet's go back to the image from the "Think About It."
