Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the difference between the two species in spite of having the same hormone.
Introduction:
There are various morphological as well as physiological changes that take place in species over time. Sometimes, an organ or a particular chemical may remain the same in a number of species morphologically or structurally, but their function change. This makes it difficult to recognize any closeness between the species. For example, a similar hormone may occur in a number of species, but will not indicate any closeness in them.

This developmental change involves reproductive organs, hormones, and mating behavior (Warner 1984). In some species, the removal of a dominant, breeding male from a cluster of females triggers a sex change in the largest female present. Identify the apparent developmental restrictions imposed on this system, such as the requirement that a female be transformed into a male rather than some sort of intermediate sex. Speculate on the benefits associated with each restriction.arrow_forward
