Suppose a person does a study on tail length in skinks (a type of lizard). She measures the tail length of 10 Southeastern Five-lined Skinks and 10 Broad-headed Skinks. (Look these up on Google if you want to see what they look like!) The average tail length of her Southeastern Five-lined Skinks is 12.7 cm, and the average tail length of her Broad-headed Skinks is 13.2 cm. What can she conclude at this point? Question 5 options: Broad-headed Skinks, on average, have longer tails than Southeastern Five-lined Skinks Southeastern Five-lined Skinks, on average, have longer tails than Broad-headed Skinks She doesn't have an answer yet because she hasn't analyzed the tail length data The two skink species most likely have the same average tail length

You are a wildlife biologist researching black rhinos. During your time in Africa, you have observed two particular traits that allow some black rhinos to be better adapted to their environment. The first trait is an extra-long prehensile lip that enables the rhino to have more efficient browsing capabilities than rhinos with the usual size prehensile lip. Second, some of the rhinos in the study have extra-large ears that allow them to hear a potential predator earlier than rhinos with normal size ears. If you could breed black rhinos that have both of these good traits (an extra-long prehensile lip (P) and bigger ears (E), it wouldincrease their chance for survival in the wild. You have chosen the following two rhinos to enter into a breeding program for the two desired phenotypic traits. It has been determined (based on your previous research) that both the desired traits are homozygous recessive. Parent 1: Heterozygous dominant for prehensile lip trait. Heterozygous for the longer…

Birds learned to sing only when they were trained by other birds.b. The window in which birds learn from other birds is wider thanthat in which birds learn from tape recordings.c. Birds could learn different dialects only from other birds.d. Birds that learned to sing from a tape recorder could change theirsong when they listened to another bird.
A male and female gibbon that are similar in size likely demonstrate the lack of sexual dimorphism… A : due to the polygamous social structure in gibbons. B : as the result of unequal access to resources within their environment. C : which is not related to social structure in gibbons. D : due to adaptations related to Allen’s rule. E : due to decreased competition for mates in a monogamous social structure.
Colton is having an ant problem at his house and heard that adding more cinnamon throughout his home may repel and reduce the number of ants that enter. He wants to design an experiment to determine the relationship between cinnamon and ants. What is the best testable research question for Colton's experiment? A. How does the number of ants entering a home change throughout the day? B. What spices affect ants? C. Do ants like cinnamon? D. How does the amount of cinnamon in a home affect the number of ants entering? What's the independent variable/Dependent variable/ controlled variable?
Ecology regarding sexual selection: In zebra finch females prefer males who have a larger yellow cheek patch. Researchers investigating this preference think that females must benefit from choosing males with large cheek patches. Provide three hypotheses regarding the direct, or indirect benefits, she might receive.
