. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Scientists studying scrub jays found that“helpers” often assist mated pairs of birds by gathering food fortheir offspring.(A) Propose a hypothesis to explain what advantage theremight be for the helpers to engage in this behavior insteadof seeking their own territories and mates.(B) Explain how you would test your hypothesis. If it is correct,what results would you expect your tests to yield?
What is the proximate cause of male deer fighting over females?a. to determine their supremacy over other malesb. to injure other males so that these other males cannot mate withfemalesc. to maximize the number of genes they pass ond. because changes in day length stimulate this behaviore. because fighting helps rid the herd of weaker individuals
Per several primatological studies, the reason behind infanticide appears to be: aSuper aggression in males bIt is caused by pathological behavior cIt helps improve reproductive fitness dPost-partum depression in females
You want to breed turtles and choose to incubate turtle eggs at the highest temperature (36°C) in the recommended range (22-36°C). You then, unexpectedly, observe that only female turtles are produced . This leads you to ask the question: "Does incubation temperature affect a turtle's sex?" Formulate a hypothesis and shortly explain what steps you will follow to ensure that this question is answered in a scientific manner.
Which of these situations offers the lowest “opportunity for selection” for males? A. Females choose mates with a fancy ornament. B. Every female chooses one male to mate with for life. C. Locations that females need access to in order to reproduce are rare. D. Males fight each other for access to groups of females.
#1: Elephant Seals have a polygynous mating system, in which a few males mate with many females while other males do not mate at all. Nearly all females produce one offspring per year. Assuming a 50:50 sex ratio, we would expect the average reproductive rate to be (chose one answer) a. higher in females b. the same in males and females c. higher in males d. random e. none of the above

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.
In an experiment in which resource allocation was studied in ovariectomized and sham-operated brown anoles, results showed that - A. Females which laid fewer eggs per clutch had lower rates of survival. B. Allocation to reproduction enhanced the growth and survival of the brown anoles. C. The females which laid eggs more eggs had higher survival rates. D. The females which did not lay eggs showed higher growth and survival rates.
