Concept explainers

Primate evolution

Primates are a relatively new species and first appeared in the fossil record nearly 55 million years ago. They may have originated as far back as the cretaceous period. Their fossils were observed in North America, Asia, and Europe. Long before the first monkeys and their prosimian relatives developed, most animal species thrived and died. The first primates did not exist until about 50-55 million years ago, even though the planet is 4.54 billion years old and the first life goes back at least 3.5 billion years. Dinosaurs had been extinct for 10 to 15 million years when this happened.

Why would predation on small individuals lead to a population with delayed sexual maturity? Group of answer choices The delay reduces the likelihood of senescence The delay leads to higher fecundiy The delay allows more resources to be devoted into growing to a larger size that is less likely to be eaten The delay increases experience and improves parental care
Regarding mating behavior, choose the false statement from the list: Some aspects of courtship behavior may have evolved from agonistic interactions. Courtship interactions ensure that the participating individuals are nonthreatening and of the proper species, sex, and physiological condition for mating. The mating relationship in most mammals is monogamous, to ensure the reproductive success of the pair. Polygamous relationships most often involve a single male and many females, but in some species this is reversed. Salmon swimming against the stream to lay eggs is an example of taxis. tropism. kinesis. cognitive mapping spatial learning Female Apanteles wasps lay their eggs in caterpillars of the genus Pieris. The site of the caterpillar initiates the egg laying behavior. This is an example of a fixed action pattern. problem solving behavior. habituation.…

A male fox sparrow sings loudly from a series of perches. A worker bee loses its life defending the hive. A male dog urinates on every tree and fire hydrant it encounters during a walk.
