Chapter 42.1, Problem 1CSC
To attract a mate, rhinos urinate. raise their tails. vocalize, and bump each other on the head and genitals with their snouts. Sometimes this courtship gets violent enough to injure or even kill one or both animals, particularly if the animals are confined in a small area, however, if they do copulate, rhinos use structures and hormonal controls that are very similar to those used by humans. Haw do male and female reproductive systems function in mammals?

Large testes are probably advantageous in species with sperm competition because
larger testes produce more sperm which increses males' probability of
fertilization
females choose males based on testes size
more testosterone production increases fighting ability of males
larger testes produce larger sized sperm which have a competitive advantage
over other sperm
We discussed environmental sex determination in reptiles, where the sex of the
individual is determined by environmental factors rather than chromosomes. Which

- How do different types of energy investment by females contribute to the reproductive success of a frog, a chicken, and human? Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. Reset Help embryos have gelatinous coat and lack internal membranes internal fertilization external fertilization embryos have internal membrane invest energy to the protection of their embryos by strong shells invest energy to the gamete production invest energy to the protection of their embryos by internal development Frog Chicken Humanarrow_forwardIn seahorses, males incubate and care for offspring. Thus, the males are more likely to be tied up in reproduction at any point in time relative to females. Which sex do you predict will be the choosey sex in this species and why? Males -- because fewer are available to mate Males – because male-male competition is incredibly strong Females – because sperm are cheap to produce Female – because the operational sex ratio is biased in their favor The sperm of chimpanzees have faster swimming speeds than those of gorillas. Based on what you know about sperm competition, what would you predict about differences between these two species in female re-mating frequency and sperm viability? In chimps, females mate only once and sperm are viable for only a day In chimps, females mate multiply and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate only one, and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate multiply, and sperm live for only a day Which of the following sexual traits is…arrow_forwardAnimals attract mates through a variety of behaviors.

- Which of the following is NOT correct? O Most mammals have definite mating seasons. O Estrus is a short period of mammalian "heat." O All of the choices are correct. O The estrous cycle allows females to mate at any time of the year. O Many male mammals are capable of fertile copulation at any time.arrow_forwardA friend of yours wants to better understand the difference between estrous and menses in mammals. Which answer below would provide a good way of explaining the main difference? O only menstrual cycles are affected by seasonal changes throughout the year O copulation normally occurs across the estrous cycle, whereas in menstrual cycles copulation only occurs during the period surrounding ovulation O the endometrium shed by the uterus during the estrous cycle is reabsorbed with no extensive fluid flow out of the body, whereas the shed endometrium of menstrual cycles is excreted from the body O behavioral changes during estrous cycles are much less apparent than those of menstrual cycles MacBook Proarrow_forwardAnimals attract mates through a variety of behaviors.
