You discover a new species of reptile that can either lay eggs or have live birth. Rats and other small mammals consume the eggs in some areas. In which environment would you expect viviparity?
A. High abundance of rats
B. Low abundance of rats

Animals 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 crabs
Mockingbirds typically lay 3 eggs. If the mockingbird produces more than three eggs their young are often malnourished because they have so many to feed. If less than 3 eggs are produced they may not have any viable offspring. This is an example of
