History

nignag [31]1 year ago

Answer:Primates are characterized by relatively late ages at first reproduction, long lives and low fertility. Together, these traits define a life-history of reduced reproductive effort. Understanding the optimal allocation of reproductive effort, and specifically reduced reproductive effort, has been one of the key problems motivating the development of life history theory. Because of their unusual constellation of life-history traits, primates play an important role in the continued development of life history theory. In this review, I present the evidence for the reduced reproductive effort life histories of primates and discuss the ways that such life-history tactics are understood in contemporary theory. Such tactics are particularly consistent with the predictions of stochastic demographic models, suggesting a key role for environmental variability in the evolution of primate life histories. The tendency for primates to specialize in high-quality, high-variability food items may make them particularly susceptible to environmental variability and explain their low reproductive-effort tactics. I discuss recent applications of life history theory to human evolution and emphasize the continuity between models used to explain peculiarities of human reproduction and senescence with the long, slow life histories of primates more generally.

Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct answer is bilateral (D).

<em>A bilateral system</em> means a government with two legislative houses.The federal government in the USA uses the bilateral system and so do all the states with the exception of Nebraska. The bicameral system in the U.S consists of: The House of Representatives and the Senate. Each house has different requirements to serve and each house has unique powers.

The correct answer is checks, balances (C).

<em>Checks and balances </em>are a tool used in a political system to decrease the risk of centralization of power. They ensure that no one person or department has an absolute control over decisions. Checks and balances create separation of powers. In the U. S. checks and balances are exercised through its three branches of government: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. Each branch has special abilities. The legislative branch makes the laws but the executive branch gives the veto power to the president to veto these laws if necessary. The judicial branch may deem certain laws unconstitutional thus making them void.
