Question
Why do queen honey bees (Apis mellifera) behave very differently from their workers even though a queen has essentially the same genome as her worker sisters and daughters? Develop at least one proximate hypothesis on why the two categories of bees behave so differently.

- In the article called "Sexual dimorphism and male mating success in the tentacled blenny, Parablennius tentacularis (Teleostei: Blenniidae)" The sexually selected trait or traits in question. Based on what you gathered from the Article, What is the trait determining which individuals get to reproduce that the authors are interested in?arrow_forwardAssume that you are studying the evolution of anti-predator behavior in two species of butterfly. Both species A and species B have black and orange warning coloration on their wings that is used as a warning to predators. Which of the following studies would determine whether the warning coloration in species A and species B is a homology? An evolutionary study that determines which species produces the warning coloration at a younger age. An evolutionary study that determines if the same evolutionary forces maintain the black and orange coloration in both species. An evolutionary study that determines which predators are affected by the warning coloration. An evolutionary study that reconstructs color on the larger butterfly phylogeny to determine if the common ancestor of species A and species B also had black and orange warning coloration.arrow_forwardAlzheimer's is believed to be caused by a dominant allele, however, it continues to persist in populations, even though it is deleterious. Explain why the allele for Alzheimer's persists using an evolutionary justification.arrow_forward
- In response to extreme starvation, some bacterial cells undergo programmed cell death (PCD). In E. coli, PCD is mediated by the toxin-antitoxin pair MazF (the toxin that initiates PCD) and MazE (the antitoxin that keeps MazF in check). PCD lowers the fitness of the bacterial cell, but if the cells in the population are genetically related, then the sacrifice of some cells to keep a subset of the population alive may increase the fitness of that shared genome. There is, however, the risk of mutant "cheaters," cells that do not undergo PCD in response to extreme stress but benefit from the nutrients released from dead cells. Loss of which proteins could result in a cheater cell phenotype? Choose one or more: OA. MazF OB. CIPAP protease OC. glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) OD. MazEarrow_forwardBased on the text: 1. Describe how cockroaches pest mates. 2. Describe the development of the offspring( cockroaches) 3. Compare the genetic relationship of the parent pest and its offspring. (Cockroaches) Use the word:GENETICALLY IDENTICAL/DIFFERENT, GENETIC RECOMBINATION. 4.Predict what factors in the environment can be altered to stop the pest from reproducing.(COCKROACHES)arrow_forwardWhat is the Red Queen Dynamic? Using the snail example, explain why different parasite and host genotypes are expected to oscillate in frequency? Why would this favor sexual reproduction or outcrossing?arrow_forward
- Of the following, which is an example of a postzygotic barrier? O Due to incompatible interactions between inherited genes, a hybrid fetus is unable to develop, and is aborted. O One species mates in spring, while another mates in summer. O A female spider of one species does not respond to the mating display of a male of a closely related species. O Cell surface proteins of one species eggs prevent sperm from another species attaching, so the sperm cannot fertilize it.arrow_forwardotamopyrgus antipodarum is a species of freshwater snail that has spread far beyond its native New Zealand. Some populations of these tiny snails reproduce sexually, and other populations reproduce asexually. Huge asexual populations are now disrupting ecosystems all over the world, particularly where the water is contaminated with phosphorus. Fertilizers and detergents contain phosphorus, so agricultural runoff and other forms of water pollution are common in these regions. Like most animals that cannot reproduce sexually, the asexual snails have at least three sets of chromosomes; like most sexual organisms, the sexual snails have two. Explain why sexually reproducing snail populations predominate in regions where the water is unpolluted.arrow_forwardYou are examining a population of C. elegans in their natural habitat, a fresh steaming pile of nutrient-rich compost. Predict what you might expect to see in terms of mode of reproduction in the population. a. The population will primarily reproduce asexually then when they run out of nutrient-rich compost. b. The population will have mostly hermaphrodites with a few males. c. The population will have a really high frequency of males compared to lab conditions. d. The population will primarily undergo sexual reproduction.arrow_forward
