- Evolutionary biology What are 4 conditions in which natural selection favors altruistic behaviors in which the individual performs costly actions to benefit others?arrow_forwardMs. Rodriquez held up a picture of an owl and a green sea turtle and explained to the class that they have several things in common. She explained that they are both nocturnal animals and that the word nocturnal refers to animals that sleep during the day and are active at night. She asked the class to list three additional ways that the owl and the green sea turtle are similar. What are some other similarities between owls and green sea turtles?arrow_forwardAnimal research is a necessary practice in the world of medical research, allowing scientists to develop life-saving interventions and to spot catastrophic problems before new techniques or products make their way to actual patients. However, this does not mean that we should deny that there are serious ethical issues involved. Animal testing is not a pretty or pleasant process. It causes pain and suffering to animal subjects, and legitimate cases of abuse have been uncovered by animal rights groups. Consequently, the practice should be tightly regulated, and alternative methods should be employed whenever possible. • Discuss a specific research study involving animals that had ethical issues. • What were the ethical issues involved? • What could have been done to conduct the research study differently to avoid these ethical issues?arrow_forward
- Why is this question keep on getting rejected. Your other competitors seem to have answer this question and Bartleby can’t seem to answer it. I might have to consider cancelling this subscription and go with your other competitors. What accounts for the difference in how bonobos and chimps respond to strangers? Why can't chimps get the bananas in the experiment but the bonobos are able to? How does this information help us understand ourselves as humans?arrow_forwardRock pocket mice can either have a dark black coloration or light coloration. You observe that most of the pocket mice that live on dark rocks are dark black in coloration, and that the pocket mice that are light in color live on light-colored sand. You hypothesize that the coloration differences serve as camouflage protecting the mice against predators. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe this experiment in 3-4 sentences. In this description, make sure you indicate the following: dependent variable, independent variable, and your prediction.arrow_forwardResearchers are very interested in studying identical twins separated at birth and raised apart. So far, data suggests that such twins are more alike than researchers predicted; they frequently have similar personalities, mannerisms, habits, and interests. What general questions do you think researchers hope to answer by studying such twins? Why do identical twins make good subjects for this research? What abuses might occur if the studies are not evaluated critically and if the results are carelessly cited to support a social agenda?arrow_forward
- Comparing across animals in the image, do you think there is a major difference in animals' abilities to regulate unconscious functions like heart rate and breathing rate? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScientists studying orangutans on the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra recently found that the orangutans inhabiting the food-scarce island of Borneo have smaller brains than those on Sumatra, where food is abundant. From this observation, what can we infer about the relationship between brain size and diet in orangutan evolution?arrow_forwardWhich of these statements are true about predictions and hypotheses? (4 are true) □ If the results of the experiment are NOT consistent with a given prediction then that hypothesis is false. O Hypotheses and predotions are the same as theories. A predictions is a possible explanations to explain the initial observation. Predictions and hypotheses are the same thing. Predictions are usually written as if/then statements. "If I do this, then that will happen." O The prediction step comes before the hypothesis. Hypotheses are usually written as if/then statements. "If I do this, then that will happen." A hypothesis is a possible explanations to explain the initial observation. O The prediction step comes after the hypothesis.arrow_forward
- Variables are used not only in research and studies but are also often used in everyday life. Knowing the difference in variables can help you make life decisions. There are several different types of variables but the two main ones are independent variables and dependent variables. why are independent variables so important?arrow_forwardA person wants to know if the Florida Cottonmouth and Northern Cottonmouth differ in toxicity (strength of their venom). Which would be the best experimental design to answer this question? Question 4 options: Two snakes - one of each species - each bite a mouse. The mouse that dies more quickly tells you which snake has more toxic venom. Venom from 60 snakes - 30 of each species - is injected into a mouse. The mouse that dies more quickly tells you which snake has more toxic venom. Venom from two snakes - one of each species - is injected into a mouse. The mouse that dies more quickly tells you which snake has more toxic venom. 60 snakes - 30 of each species - each bite a mouse. The group of mice with the most deaths tells you which snake has more toxic venom.arrow_forwardHow can we use the principles of biology to improve human welfare, and how can we live our lives in ways that control our impact on the world around us?arrow_forward
