Summary Introduction
To review:
The selective advantage of hermaphrodite and environment that favors this process.
Introduction:
The animals in phylum invertebrates lack vertebral column and include arthropods, mollusks, annelids, and Porifera. The biologist agrees that animals have evolved from a common ancestor of colonial, flagellated protist. The first living choanoflagellate is sponges.

- Briefly compare and contrasts the advantage of asexual and sexual reproduction. Which one is most common in animals?arrow_forwardIn species with internal fertilization, the eggs often are attached to the outside of the female's body in brood chambers following copulation, before hatching into free-swimming offspring. What advantages might a brood chamber offer for the development of offspring?arrow_forwardDescribe the evidence that the development of honeybee queens is due to exposure to royal jelly.arrow_forward
- The cnidaria, jelly fish, are the first organisms to exhibit? a) an ectoderm layer b) endoderm layer with digestive cells that release enzymes in to a digestive structure c) ectoderm cells that specialize to become cells which react to a stimulus and produce movement d) a water-based internal environment (prebiotic ocean) between the ectoderm and the endoderm e) all are true for cnidariaarrow_forwardIllustrate a model of female reproductive system of turtle showing structures and pathways during ovipositionarrow_forwardIn the sexual reproducing phyla Nematoda, are the animal’s hermaphrodites or separate sexes?arrow_forward
- Cite two examples of hermaphrodites and their means of preventing self-fertilization.arrow_forwardLooking at a variety of animals,what are the advantages to restricting reproduction to a limited time period? Why do so many animals have a sharply defined reproductive season during the year?arrow_forwardAnimals attract mates through a variety of behaviors. Diurnal animals tend to rely on visual cues, while nocturnal ones make frequent use of pheromones. In recent years, environmental pollutants called endocrine disruptors are on the rise. Such chemicals mimic hormones in higher-order animals and interfere with the reproductive cycle. Which animal’s reproduction would be most seriously affected in the presence of endocrine disruptors? rats bees fireflies fiddler crabsarrow_forward
- Explain why sexually reproducing organisms are often better suited to changes in their environment than asexually reproducing organisms.arrow_forward. This experiment is an example of a research approach in which scientists infer how something works normally based on what happens when the normal process is blocked. What normal process was blocked in Jost’s experiment? From the results, what inference can you make about the role of the gonads in controlling the development of mammalian genitalia?arrow_forwardReproduction is usually secual with both male and female sexes, however asexual reproduction does exist with several unique adaptations. Enumerate and explain four major factors that influence the ability of female to produce eggs and the number that are oviposited.arrow_forward
