a
External fertilization is observed in sea urchins, whereas internal fertilization is used in mammals.
External fertilization is observed in mammals, whereas internal fertilization is used in sea urchins.
Urchins produce thousands of eggs, whereas humans produce only one egg that when fertilized becomes a zygote.
Once sea urchins release their gametes, they move on to feeding on other normal activities and do not worry about their
progeny at all.

In the eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus), mothers sometimes take parental favoritism to extreme lengths by killing their sons, but never their daughters (Heinsohn et al. 2011). Sex-specific infanticide occurs more often at nests that can be flooded during the rainy season. Sons spend longer in the nest than daughters. Link this factor to why it might be adaptive for a parent parrot to kill a son in a vulnerable nest occupied by offspring of both sexes.

- What is the common ground between evolutionary biologists and developmental biologists who have adopted the perspective known as Evo Devo?arrow_forwardConservation biologists have altered the evolution of salmon populations in captive-breeding programs. Wild female salmon tend to produce fewer large eggs because the large eggs contain more nutrients for the off spring, giving each individual a greater chance to survive. After just a few generations, however, captive-bred females now lay greater numbers of small eggs. Suggest a possible adaptive advantage for many small eggs in the captive-bred environment. What would you predict regarding the reproductive success of captive-bred females released in the wild?arrow_forwarddescribe the various eco-morphological and behavioural adaptations and strategies of Leptopelis natalensis (Natal Forest Tree Frog) to survive in its environmentarrow_forward
- Is the following case study an r-strategist or a K-strategist? American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Offspring are left to develop, hatch, and grow on their own, maturing in about three months.arrow_forwardDefine the three types of embryo development and birth and give an example of a species for each: 1) Oviparous 2) Ovoviviparous 3) Viviparousarrow_forwardConsidering a range of animals, what are the benefits of limiting reproduction to a specific time frame?

The females sneak into other birds' nests and lay their eggs, often removing the host bird's eggs. The cowbird eggs tend to match those of the host's eggs, and often the host does not detect that the cowbird's eggs have replaced their own. The host birds raise the cowbird chicks to maturity.arrow_forward
- Because many of the key mechanisms of evolution activate when sperm and egg combine, volutionary change happens faster for organisms with short life cycles (viruses, bacteria, fruit fly, yeast) compared to organisms with long life cycles (humans, elephants, tortoises).

The workers are typicallydaughters of the queen. The queen is the only reproductive individual—the workers aresterile. a) According to Hamiton’s rule, what is the maximum ratio of cost to benefit (C/B) for theworkers in order for this system to evolve?b) Some colonies of ants have multiple queens, which can be related to different degrees.Imagine that two sisters start a colony, so that they are the mother or aunt to allworkers.
