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.

Mockingbirds 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. This is an example of

- QUESTION 15 Which of the following statements accurately represents the hormonal control of invertebrate reproduction? • Ecdysone indirectly effects reproduction through its effects on maturation and metamorphosis. Some invertebrates provide substantial parental oversight of juveniles. Invertebrate reproduction is not affected in any way by steroids Invertebrates are both oviparous and viviparous. Metamorphosis has no effect on reproduction. QUESTION 16 Which hormonal agents stimulate an animal to eat by increasing its appetite? • Orexic agents • Anorexic agents • The presence of food in the digestive tract The presence of sugars in the stomach. QUESTION 17 Ecdysone • Binds to a cell surface GPCR leading to guanylate cyclase activation. • Is structurally related to juvenile hormone. • Is not produced from cholesterol. • has a nuclear receptor that heterodimerizes with the USP transcription factor.

- All blanks have three options. Males, females, or neither.arrow_forwardQ28: Please type the answer to this question Some salamanders exhibit neoteny, becoming sexually mature while still retaining some larval characteristics. In some species, the neotenic characteristics have become a permanent state of the species (obligate neoteny = paedogenesis; both are called paedomorphic conditions). These have lost the ability to undergo complete metamorphosis (hellbender, amphiuma, and mudpuppy). In others, the animal does not undergo complete metamorphosis in nature, but can be induced to do so in the lab. An example of this is the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), a large gilled salamander found in Mexico. In some species of salamanders, members of a population exhibit neoteny only when they are under stressful environmental conditions (such as crowding, scarce food, low concentrations of trace elements). This is called facultative neoteny. Tiger Salamanders (Ambvstoma tigrinum) frequently do this, but local populations of marbled salamanders show a…arrow_forwardDiscuss and make comparisson about the reproductive organs of birds and reptiles.

- In seahorses, males incubate and care for offspring. Thus, the males are more likely to be tied up in reproduction at any point in time relative to females. Which sex do you predict will be the choosey sex in this species and why? Males -- because fewer are available to mate Males – because male-male competition is incredibly strong Females – because sperm are cheap to produce Female – because the operational sex ratio is biased in their favor The sperm of chimpanzees have faster swimming speeds than those of gorillas. Based on what you know about sperm competition, what would you predict about differences between these two species in female re-mating frequency and sperm viability? In chimps, females mate only once and sperm are viable for only a day In chimps, females mate multiply and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate only one, and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate multiply, and sperm live for only a day Which of the following sexual traits is…arrow_forwardActivity 4.
