Answer:
there could have been low production
Answer:
The findings demonstrates an optimal foraging hypothesis based on maximizing caloric intake alone is probably incorrect in this case.
Explanation:
This example can also be explained by optimal foraging theory which helps in predicting the behavior of an animal which it is searching for food. Food provides energy to the animal but searching and capturing the food requires both energy and time.
So in order to maximize fitness , an animal adopts a foraging strategy which provides the most benefit which in this case is energy, for the lower cost and by maximizing the net energy gained.
Both parents contributed a recessive allele and were short.
Polysaccharide formation allows organism to store energy efficiently. The storage form of food in animals is glycogen and in plants it is starch. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides of glucose. Many glucose units are linked together by condensation reaction to form polysaccharide. Compared to having several molecules of glucose in a bulk it is better to store it in the form of condensed bulk i.e polysaccharide. Thus polysaccharides which are formed by condensation reaction i.e by the loss of water molecules are easy to store.
Polysacchrides are: a) stored in the form of condensed bulk
b) they are chemically non-reactive
c) they are osmolytically inactive
