Give typed explanation of both otherwise leave it One of the species of whiptail lizards that is parthenogenic is the New Mexico whiptail (pictured here). This lizard is found in semi-arid habitat in southwestern US and northern Mexico. This species co-occurs with a sexual species of whiptail, the little striped whiptail. The habitat in New Mexico in the future is predicted to become hotter and drier due to climate change, and these changes are happening on a fast timescale ecologically. Compare these two species and make a prediction for how well you think each will be able to adapt to future changes in climate and habitat. In your answer, discuss the potential advantages and disadvantages of being a sexual vs. an asexual species in this situation. 1) As the climate becomes drier, you would expect that individual lizards with increased desiccation resistance will have a higher relative fitness compared to others. Which of the following best describes the concept of fitness? Group of answer choices the persistence of a species over a long evolutionary time having traits that could become useful for the species in some future generation the total contribution of offspring to future generations living for the longest time in the population 2)Consider the little striped whiptail. As the climate changes, these lizards will need to adapt to dry conditions and you might predict they would need to increase their desiccation resistance (how long they can live without water). Which of the following information would allow you to predict how quickly desiccation resistance will evolve in the New Mexico population of little striped whiptails? Choose all that you would need to make the prediction. Group of answer choices The average desiccation resistance that will be required for a lizard to survive to reproduction in future conditions Which gene controls desiccation resistance in little striped whiptails The population size of little striped whiptails before humans colonized the area of New Mexico The heritability of desiccation resistance in this population The number of eggs produced on average by female little striped whiptail
