Femalesbegin courtship by raising their wings, exposing their integral membranes,expanding their genital chambers and releasing a pheromone that attractsmales. This stance is referred to as the calling position.Attracted males approach females and flap their wings to denote interest.Mating commences when a male cockroach backs into a female cockroach,depositing sperm.After fertilization, a female American cockroach produces an egg caseknown as an ootheca. Some species of cockroaches are ovoviviparous,which means they carry the ootheca inside their bodies. In a few species,the eggs grow inside the female's uterus without the aid of an ootheca. Thedeveloping babies feed on the yolks of the eggs, just as those that growoutside of their mothers do. Only one species of cockroach is viviparous,meaning the babies develop inside the mother's uterus surrounded byamniotic fluid. The young grow and develop just as the offspring ofmammals do until the mother gives birth. The female carries the ootheca onher abdomen for a short time, usyally a day or two. After that, she depositsit in a warm humid location.Nymphs emerge within 38 days and complete their development within sixto 12+ months. The life span of the American cockroach ranges from one to1.5 years.!!三

Like other nocturnal carnivores, the ferret shown in FIGURE 33.13 has light-reflecting material in its choroid. Explain why the presence of reflective material in this layer of the eye maximizes the degree to which light excites photoreceptors. Explain also why having reflective material in this layer causes the perceived image to be somewhat blurry. FIGURE 33.13 Eyeshine of a back-footed ferret A reflective layer in this nocturnal predators eyes enhances its night vision,
The Mojave Desert of the western United States is characterized by a hot, dry climate. Scientists predict that temperatures in this region will increase by an average of 4.7° F over the next 30 years. Birds found here (like ground-dwelling roadrunners) are endotherms and have many adaptations to reduce the amount of heat absorbed into the body while active in the daytime. If temperatures increase in this area as predicted, how might the plumage (the feathers covering the body) of these roadrunners change under the influence of natural selection? 1:The plumage will likely become longer and increase heat absorption into the body. 2:The plumage will likely become darker and increase heat absorbed from the environment. 3:The plumaqe will likely become lighter and increase heat reflected away from the body. 4:The plumage will likely become thicker and increase the amount of heat trapped by the body.

help me solveCritical Thinking #1 Biol 1406 Group Names:Read the following and fully answer the questions below. Most answers will be multiple sentences or a paragraph in length.Nearly half a century ago, D. W. Kaufman investigated the effect of prey camouflage on predation. Kaufman tested the hypothesis that the amount of contrast between the coat color of a mouse and the color of its surroundings would affect the rate of nighttime predation by owls. He also hypothesized that the color contrast would be affected by the amount of moonlight. In this exercise, you will analyze data from his owl-mouse predation studies.Pairs of mice (Peromyscuspolionotus) with different coat colors, one light brown and one dark brown, were released simultaneously into an enclosure that contained a hungry owl. The researcher recorded the color of the mouse that was first caught by the owl. If the owl did not catch either mouse within 15 minutes, the test was recorded as a zero. The release trials were…
11. Answer and explain
Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) live in large groups in silk nests resembling tents, which they build in trees. They are among the first insects to be active in early spring, when daily temperature fluctuates from freezing to very hot. Over the course of a day, they display striking differences in behavior: Early in the morning, they rest in a tightly packed group on the tent’s east-facing surface. In midafternoon, they are on its undersurface, each caterpillar hanging by a few of its legs. Propose a hypothesis to explain this behavior. How could you test it?
1 and 2 questions pls 1.) The sympathetic nervous system secretes epinephrine at its axon terminals in the internal organs and the adrenal medulla secretes it into the bloodstream . Which of the following statements which compare the two sources of epinephrine is (are ) correct ? 1. Epinephrine from the sympathetic system is released faster . 2. Epinephrine from the sympathetic system is released more slowly 3. The effects of epinephrine from the adrenal medulla last longer . 4. The effects of epinephrine from the adrenal medulla disappear more quickly a.) 3 only B.) 1 only C.) 1 and 3 D.) 2 and 4 2.)

Why are polyandrous mating systems more rare than polygynous matings? Only males are capable of multiple rounds of reproduction within a single breeding season Only females care for the young Females usually experience more intrasexual selection pressure than males Females usually devote more energy to offspring production and development.

In seahorses, males incubate and care for offspring. Thus, the males are more likely to be tied up in reproduction at any point in time relative to females. Which sex do you predict will be the choosey sex in this species and why? Males -- because fewer are available to mate Males – because male-male competition is incredibly strong Females – because sperm are cheap to produce Female – because the operational sex ratio is biased in their favor The sperm of chimpanzees have faster swimming speeds than those of gorillas. Based on what you know about sperm competition, what would you predict about differences between these two species in female re-mating frequency and sperm viability? In chimps, females mate only once and sperm are viable for only a day In chimps, females mate multiply and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate only one, and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate multiply, and sperm live for only a day Which of the following sexual traits is…
