Question
Chapter 26.3, Problem 3CYL
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why multiple mating behaviors may coexist in a population.
Introduction:
Behavior is defined as the different types of actions produced by organisms in response to stimuli which is either external or internal. It is responsible for establishing interaction between individuals of same or other species that provides benefits to each other.

- How does territoriality causes uniform distribution within a population? Explain in detailarrow_forwardDescribe how courtship behavior drives sexual selection. Use the peacock as an example.arrow_forwardMatch the scenario to the type of sexual selection: Question 10 male parrots wish to mate with a female. The female chooses to mate with the male that has the brightest tail feathers. Male giraffes perform mating dances. The ones that perform the dance better are chosen by the female as a mate. Male kangaroos fight each other, the winner claims the female to mate with. Male red-winged blackbird sing and display their feathers to establish their territories. All of the females in that territory will exclusively mate with that male. The impressive feathers of a male peacock are the result of this type of sexual selection All Answer Choices A. Intrasexual selection B. Intersexual selectionarrow_forward
- Why might individuals give up defending territories if the density of their population increases?arrow_forwardAssume you are studying a species of slug where the eggs are fertilized and transferred to the male. As a result the male is not able to increase reproductive success by mating with multiple partners. Therefore which of the following about sexual selection in this species is not true? Females are more likely to develop traits that signal genetic quality to males. Females will be able to increase reproductive success with increased mating partners. Sexual selection in males will lead them to be choosy with what females they mate with. Sexual selection in males will lead them to mate indiscriminately when they find a female.arrow_forwardIn a coastal marine habitat, a species of fish is found. During the breeding season, dominant males establish territories and mate with multiple females. Females deposit their eggs in nests built by the males, who provide no parental care after fertilization. What type of mating strategy is most likely exhibited here? Group of answer choices Monogamy Promiscuity Polyandry Polygynyarrow_forward
- socially, sexually, seasonally are the optionsarrow_forwardWhat is the role of group behavior on individual and species' chances to survive and reproduce?arrow_forwardZooplankton (small animals that live suspended in the water) are sometimes isolated in small ponds caused by glaciers, called prairie potholes. Movement of zooplankton between these habitats is very limited. Because of the small size of zooplankton, each pothole can maintain a very large population. There are no known traits that females use to determine male quality, when males are present, nor is there any obvious sign of male-male competition. When assaying the populations for genetic diversity, you find that all have the same alleles and no new alleles have appeared since these habitats were colonized. At this time, no known traits are under selection. If all of these things are true, then are these populations likely to exhibit changes in allele frequency in the immediate future? O Yes, they will exhibit shifts in allele frequency in the next generation or two in random directions No, if these conditions continue the allelic frequencies will not change Yes, they will exhibit…arrow_forward
