Question
Chapter 47.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The prediction of events that will happen if calcium ion (Ca2+) is injected into an unfertilized egg.
Concept introduction:
Membrane depolarization caused by cortical reaction lasts long, which prevents polyspermy.
High concentration of calcium is needed for the formation of fertilization envelope.

Q28: Please type the answer to this question
Some salamanders exhibit neoteny, becoming sexually mature while still retaining some larval characteristics. In some species, the neotenic characteristics have become a permanent state of the species (obligate neoteny = paedogenesis; both are called paedomorphic conditions). These have lost the ability to undergo complete metamorphosis (hellbender, amphiuma, and mudpuppy). In others, the animal does not undergo complete metamorphosis in nature, but can be induced to do so in the lab. An example of this is the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), a large gilled salamander found in Mexico. In some species of salamanders, members of a population exhibit neoteny only when they are under stressful environmental conditions (such as crowding, scarce food, low concentrations of trace elements). This is called facultative neoteny. Tiger Salamanders (Ambvstoma tigrinum) frequently do this, but local populations of marbled salamanders show a…

- Apply Evolutionary Thinking When a biologist first tested a new pesticide on a population of insects, she found that only 1% of the insects survived their exposure to the poison. She allowed the survivors to reproduce and discovered that 10% of the offspring survived exposure to the same concentration of pesticide. One generation later, 50% of the insects survived this experimental treatment. What is a likely explanation for the increasing survival rate of these insects over time?arrow_forwardWHAT IF?
