MrRa [10]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

In crickets, femur length represents a highly important trait associated with jumping performance - an essential behavior for their survival and reproduction.

According to research, these are the possible advantages and disadvantages in regard to long femur length:

Advantages

  • Longer legs [may] provide higher power for the muscles in order to jump.
  • Long-legged crickets generate lower reaction forces while performing a jump, which enables them to lose less energy in comparison with crickets with shorter femur length.

Disadvantages

  • Longer femurs may increase the total take-off time of a cricken prior to a jump.
  • In some cases, longer femurs force insects to develop head or body structures to enable them to 'fit' the legs while they prepare to jump.
  • Increased energy loss while jumping from an elevated leaf.

Sort the examples into proper mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
vovangra [49]
The mechanisms of reproductive isolation prevent the reproduction of two individuals from different species. The prezygotic mechanisms disrupt the stages of reproduction before the forming of the zygote or prevent the mating at the start, and the postzygotic mechanisms affect the stages of reproduction after the forming of the zygote.
So, the first and the third example (the urchins and the grasshoppers) show the prezygotic mechanism, as the two individuals are not able to mate or form a zygote.
The second and the fourth example ( zonkey and the death of a zygote) show the working of the postzygotic mechanisms, as the zygote is formed, but it seems to be inviable, and the zonkeys are sterile, preventing the individual to reproduce.
