In certain salamanders, the sex of a genetic female can be altered, changing her into a functional male; these salamanders are called sex-reversed males. When a sex-reversed male is mated with a normal female, approximately 2/3 of the offspring are female, and 1/3 are male. Given this observation, which of the statements is most likely to be true for these salamanders? They exhibit hermaphroditism. Females are the heterogametic sex. Males are the heterogametic sex. Females are the homogametic sex. They exhibit genic sex determination. explain the results of this cross? OO O0

Which statement about menopause is most correct? A. Menopause has to be adaptive because life-history theory predicts that women should not outlive their reproductive capacity, so menopause must have some function. B. Menopause has to be adaptive because humans, not chimpanzees, experience menopause, and humans are evolutionarily more advanced than chimps. C. Several hypotheses for menopause as an adaptation have been proposed, but more evidence is necessary to support any one of them. D. Several hypotheses for menopause as an adaptation have been proposed, but they have not been tested.
