How is human development different from other primates? O In other primates, care of offspring is spread across many caregivers, but in humans, only mothers and fathers care for offspring (for most of evolutionary history) Other primates have concealed ovulation, but not humans. Human children have slower development and are dependent for longer. O Longer juvenile dependency in chimpanzees compare to humans

Mammals have unique reproductive adaptations that have contributed to their evolutionary success. One of the distinguishing characteristics of mammals is their mammary glands, which allow for the production of milk. Even the more primitive mammals, such as the duck-billed platypus and the kangaroo, have some type of mammary glands. However, only the placental mammals (e.g. humans, horses, dogs) have a placenta, which supports the internal development of the embryo. The most primitive mammals have no placenta and can’t support the internal development of the embryo. Identify one factor, besides genetic factors, that could influence the development of human offspring.

Oviparity is the rule in the animal kingdom. It is common in insects, fishes, amphibians, and reptiles, and universal in birds. Among mammals, the most primitive species (the echidna and the platypus) are also oviparous. However, all mammals that evolved later (marsupials and placentals) are viviparous. What do you think was responsible for this major shift in reproductive strategy?
Which of the following are mismatched? (a) endoderm; lining of the digestive tube (b) ectoderm; circulatory system (c) mesoderm; notochord (d) mesoderm; reproductive system (e) ectoderm; sense organs

Vertebrate embryos all follow a very similar developmental process. Which statement could explain this similarity? All vertebrates develop a backbone that protects the spinal cord. All vertebrates live in similar environments which require the same adaptations. All vertebrates inherit the same sequence of DNA from their parents. All vertebrates require the same nutrients during embryological development.

In some ways, human development is like that of a sea urchin, in others more like the of a frog, and in other ways more like that of a bird, and even more like that of a dog. Explain in a few sentences how this is true for each of these different animals.
Mate guarding is an evolved response to sperm competition. Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) females regularly mate with several males in the same estrous cycle, whereas gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) females almost never do, since they typically live in bands, each controlled by a single, powerful male. How large (as a proportion of body size) should the testes of chimpanzee males be relative to gorilla testes (Harcourt et al. 1981)? If the testes of men are more similar to those of chimpanzees, what would this tell us about the intensity of sperm competition during our evolutionary past? If, on the other hand, human testes resemble those of gorillas, what conclusion is justified? Please don't write from any online source.
Scientists compare the structures of a chicken embryo and a human embryo at the same stage of development. They find that both vertebrates have similar shapes and structures, including the presence of gill slits and tails. How is this comparison of the embryos used as supporting evidence of evolution? A. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans are the direct descendants of modern day fish with tails and gill slits. B. The similarities suggest that vertebrates passthrough each of the adult stages of their evoluntionary history as they develop. C. The similarities suggest that vertebrates can undergo genetic changes during development that lead to the evolution of new species D. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans descend from ancestors with genes that code for the development of tails and gill slits
The sex of sea turtle offspring is determined by temperature during development. Temperature over 87° Fahrenheit will result in female offspring. What is the correlation between environmental factors and natural selection in how the sea turtle might adapt to the rise in ocean and air temperatures.
