You decide to study two species of birds, both of which form monogamous pairs (one male and one female). In species 1, the eggs

in a pair's nest are almost always the offspring of that pair. In species 2, many of the eggs in a nest were actually fathered by males of neighboring pairs. Apparently, mating outside of monogamous pairings is widespread in species 2. What would be the logical prediction to make before comparing the testes size of males of the two species?

Answer:

B-Testes of species 2 are larger than testes of species 1.

Explanation:

Relatively bigger tests are associated with female and/or male promiscuity across a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate taxa.

Short 1979; Harcourt et al. 1981;

Two general theories to explain the interspecific difference in test size were proposed: 1) sperm competition (Parker 1970) and 2) sperm depletion (Short 1981). Data available suggest that sperm competition in the evolution of the size of avian testes may be a more important selective force than sperm depletion. As a result, species-specific test size data were used in comparative studies, particularly of birds, as a convenient and supposedly reliable index of sperm competition levels which further leads to bird promiscuity.

Wilson's farm is in the mountains of Arizona. Byron's farm is in the flat plains of Kansas. Which of the following
never [62]

Wilson's farm would be more likely to have coarse soil than Byron's farm.

Explanation:

The mountain of Arizona and the flat plains of Kansas offer very different conditions when it comes to farming. Both places have their challenges, but Arizona's mountains are much more problematic when it comes to farming. Some of the reasons for this are the:

  • arid and semi-arid climate
  • lower quality of the soil
  • sloping terrain
  • large scale erosion

As mentioned, the soil is not of very high quality, and the chances are that its texture will be coarse one. This would make a problem for Wilson, as this type of soil apart from not being very fertile, is also much harder to work on. The other factors contribute to large scale erosion, which makes it very hard to create a fertile top layer, as it will constantly be stripped off by the natural factors.

Which continents contain fossils of Mesosaurus, an extinct reptile, in similar regions of Pangaea? Check all that apply.
Aneli [31]
Remains of Mesosaurus, a freshwater crocodile-like reptile that lived during the early are found solely in Southern Africa and Eastern South America. It would have been physiologically impossible for Mesosaurus to swim between the continents.
