What is the primary purpose of the Apgar score?
A) To assess the newborn's weight and height
B) To evaluate the physical condition of a newborn immediately after birth
C) To determine the newborn's gender
D) To measure the newborn's intellectual capacity
What do you think is the reason why the female mouse with gray fur had the most babies?
Because the number of babies it produces is 7 more the black fur mice also gray fur mice have a longer death span of 6 years.
Compose an argument proposing that the risk of newborn falls outweighs the benefits of rooming in after birth.

The goal is increased fleece weight with smaller fiberdiameter. There are 960 ewes mated at a ratio of 1:40. Rams are two years old when their firstoffspring are born. After the 1st breeding season, ¾ of the rams are kept and used in a secondseason with those sold replaced with new, younger rams. Ewes first lamb at 2 years of age andare retained for 6 lambings but 10% of ewes fall out each year because of non-pregnancy and/ordeath loss (equal loss from all age groups).

- A dog breeder thinks that he will be able to charge higher prices for extra-tiny versions ofsmall dogs. He starts off by trying to selectively breed smaller Yorkshire terriers. The averageadult mass of the terriers in his kennel is 2.5 kg. He selects a subset of the smallest dogs to foundhis new tiny dog line. The average mass of the 20 selected dogs is 1.8 kg. He chooses matedpairs randomly from that pool of 20 dogs and rears the resulting puppies to adulthood. Theaverage mass of these offspring was 2.4 kg.
