In sea horses, the female inseminates the male by inserting her oviduct into the male brooding pouch several times to ensure fer

tilization. After fertilization is complete, the female departs and the male attaches himself to a nearby object, and waits for the eggs to mature. How would this reproductive strategy ensure survival of the species?
A. By allowing for sexual selection of mating partners
B. By ensuring fertilization of only high-quality males
C. By protecting the fertilized eggs from predators
D. By preventing multiple fertilization of the males by other females

The survival of the species is ensured by C. by protecting the fertilized eggs from predators. The protection provided by the male increases the hatch rate of the eggs, which means more young seahorses. The greater the number of hatchlings, the greater the likelihood that some will survive  to adulthood and carry on the survival of the species.

inessss [21]

Answer: Gamete.

Explanation: They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm.

Speciation is the process by which new species are formed. Which of the following circumstances is most likely to lead to specia
trapecia [35]

Answer is A. A population becomes separated by environmental factors into two groups that do not reproduce with one another.

When a population of a species become geographically separated then gene flow between them stops. Over a period of time, the population may become genetically different in response to the natural selection due to different environments. Selection and genetic drift will act differently on these two separated populations. This will results into two separate species. This type of speciation is called allopatric speciation.

What are the biological structures
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:Biological structures are able to adapt their growth to external mechanical stimuli and impacts. For example, when plants are under external loads, such as wind force and self-weight, the overloaded zones are reinforced by local growth acceleration and the unloaded zones stop growing or even shrink. Such phenomena are recorded in the annual rings of trees. Through his observation of the stems of spruce, K. Metzger, a German forester and author, realized that the final goal of the adaptive growth exhibited by biological structures over time is to achieve uniform stress distribution within them. He published his discovery in 1893.12 A team of scientists at Karlsruhe Research Centre adopted Metzger's observations and developed them to one single design rule: the axiom of uniform stress. The methods derived from this rule are simple and brutally successful like nature itself. An excellent account of the uniform-stress axiom and the optimization methods derived from it is given by Claus Mattheck in his book ‘Design in Nature’.13 The present study utilizes one of these methods, stress-induced material transformation (SMT), to optimize the cavity shape of dental restorations.
