Comparison of fundamental asymmetry of sex and sexual dimorphism between the two-monkey species. Introduction: According to the Bateman–Trivers hypothesis, two processes are involved namely pattern and process. In this, the pattern refers to the trait, which attracts the members of the opposite sex and it is highly expanded in the males. In the process, high energy expense is required for the formation of large egg, whereas the sperms contain few energetic resources . Consequently, females in most species invest more in their offsprings in comparison to males. During study of several species of monkeys in one case, males never helped females to raise offspring. While in another case, males provided just as much parental care as females except for actually carrying the fetus during pregnancy.

Comparison of fundamental asymmetry of sex and sexual dimorphism between the two-monkey species.

Introduction:

According to the Bateman–Trivers hypothesis, two processes are involved namely pattern and process. In this, the pattern refers to the trait, which attracts the members of the opposite sex and it is highly expanded in the males. In the process, high energy expense is required for the formation of large egg, whereas the sperms contain few energetic resources. Consequently, females in most species invest more in their offsprings in comparison to males.

During study of several species of monkeys in one case, males never helped females to raise offspring. While in another case, males provided just as much parental care as females except for actually carrying the fetus during pregnancy.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
