As hominids evolved, their litter sizes decreased and their gestation period increased. Which of the following inferences can be

made based on this observation?
Reproductive success would increase, since mothers had to carry fewer offspring.
Hominids would have less difficulty finding mates, since competition is reduced.
Maternal care for offspring would increase due to a greater investment to protect.
Offspring would likely migrate in order to expand their territory and find mates.

The correct answer is - Maternal care for offspring would increase due to a greater investment to protect.

During the hominid evolution, the litter sizes decreased and the gestation period increased, and that has resulted into a slower reproductive cycle. The smaller number of the litter means that the newborns are much more precious in the sense of the survival of the species, as any loss can have a very big negative effect on the future generations.

Because of that, the maternal protection, but also the protection of the father and everyone in the tribe is very big, and the young ones are well taken care of for much longer periods of time than before. That has made the hominid youngsters very dependent on the elderly for over a decade for their survival, thus prolonging their independence and ability to survive on their own.

You own a winery in Napa Valley. An assistant accidentally leaves the lid for a vat of wine slightly ajar. Would the yeast insid
anastassius [24]

<span>When the lid for a vat of wine is slightly open, the yeast inside can continue to perform alcoholic fermentation because the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast during fermentation will act as a blanket over the wine.  Nevertheless, the air around the fermenter must be still and enough carbon dioxide should be produced to continue alcoholic fermentation. However, at some point, carbon dioxide will fall and can no longer protect the wine. This is the right time to get your wine covered before it will be vulnerable to undesirable microorganisms. </span>

Therefore, open fermentation is good in the early stages of fermentation because yeast need oxygen to synthesize sterols and assimilate fatty acids to ensure the nutrients it needs to multiply and ferment the 70% of the sugar from the fruit. Furthermore, the yeast is responsible in decomposing sugar from the grapes into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
