Question

Suppose you are studying a species of primate. Female primates generally live in 5-km2 home ranges that overlap very little with neighboring home range territories. The primates can travel up to 5 km in one day and both males and females care for young. Which type of breeding system is most likely under these circumstances?
a)Monogamy
b)Polyandry
c)Polygyny
d)Promiscuity

Answer 1

Answer:

a)Monogamy

Explanation:

The above question shows an example of monogamy in the animal kingdom, where both males and females enjoy equal conditions and are very similar in appearance, size and behavior. Once they know each other, they will spend their entire lives accompanying each other, caring for and helping each other to raise the youngs, and helping each other in the struggle for survival.
