Chapter 39, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason due to which it is disadvantageous for a male chimpanzee to kill the infant of a female with whom he had sex.

Introduction:

Male dominance plays a big role in chimp society. Female chimpanzees lead most of the life in solitary and are harassed by the much larger males sometimes. In the chimpanzee, sex is strictly about reproduction, and reproductive tactics can lead to infanticide. The killing of an offspring by an unrelated or sometimes related male is infanticide. Infanticidal individuals reduce potential competitors to their offspring and make the female chimpanzee available to have sex.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The way by which the increased sexual activity of bonobo female reduces male infanticide.

Introduction:

Bonobos are in a very close genetic relationship with the chimpanzee. The bonobos are easygoing, sexually equal, and eager for recreational sex. Bonobo society is known for strong bonds between females and almost constant sexual activity amongst all member of a group.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
