Chapter 59, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: The family which produces more descendants by the year 2000 among the two families.

Introduction: There are two families given in this case, parents of one family were born in the year 1900 and have twins at the age of 20 and the similar behavior was followed by their children and grandchildren. Similarly, parents of another family were also born in 1900 and undergo delayed reproduction until the age of 33 and finally have triplets. Children and grandchildren of the second family also followed the same behavior as their parents.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The conclusion about the two families.

Introduction: There are two families given in this case, parents of one family were born in the year 1900 and have twins at the age of 20 and the similar behavior was followed by their children and grandchildren. Similarly, parents of another family were also born in 1900 and undergo delayed reproduction until the age of 33 and finally have triplets. Children and grandchildren of the second family also followed the same behavior as their parents.

Question options:   When many offspring are needed in a short amount of time.   When the environment is just like the one the parent lived in successfully.   When no mates can be found.   When the environment is changing and fast reproduction is needed.     Sexual reproduction increases which of the following?   Question options:   Survival rates for all organisms   The rate (speed) of evolution   Mutations   Genetic diversity
ACTIVITY 9.2: Essay. Directions: Read the situation and identify the points of Darwin’s natural selection. There are 2 types of worms: worms that eat at night (nocturnal) and worms that eat during the day (diurnal). The birds eat during the day and seem to be eating ONLY the diurnal worms. The nocturnal worms are in their burrows during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce, they have about 500 babies but only 100 of tthese 500 ever become old enough to reproduce.A. Describe variations in populations. ____________________________________________B. Describe how offspring inherit surviving parent’s traits. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________C. Describe how more offspring are produced than survive. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________D. Describe how some variations are favorable. ___________________________________E. How will this population…
1. Is there a correlation between survival, reproduction and environment color? Explain. 2. Are there any other factors besides color important in determining survival in the simulation? 3. Why did we set the rate of reproduction at 2/survivor? What would happen if one color always had more offspring than other colors? 4. Suppose that a mutation occurs and a white, “albino” bead is born. How well would it survive in your environment? Please answer all questions please
