True Falsearrow_forwardIn polygynous species, why do females in good condition invest more energy in male offspring than in female offspring? Females in good condition produce males in good condition but females in poor condition. Male offspring are more likely to produce more grandchildren than female offspring. Male offspring are more likely to help provide for the mother and her future offspring. Male offspring tend to mature earlier than female offspring to produce grandchildren sooner.arrow_forward

- Which of the following statements best describes the advantage of sexual reproduction in organisms? It reduces genetic variation, which may be useful in the future. It prevents adaptation in a changing environment. It yields offspring with novel combinations of traits. It eliminates the possibility of harmful traits being passed on. tnf: Which of the following statements best describes the functions of villi and microvilli? Villi and microvilli form the inner layer of epithelial tissue in the small intestine and increase the absorption of nutrients from chyme. Villi and microvilli absorb food through the small intestine via smooth muscle contractions called peristalsis. Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which increases the absorption of nutrients by diffusion. Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which aids in the absorption of bile salts and vitamin B12.arrow_forwardMockingbirds typically lay 3 eggs. If the mockingbird produces more than three eggs their young are often malnourished because they have so many to feed. If less than 3 eggs are produced they may not have any viable offspring.
