BIO HELP ASAP
In which of the following scenarios would you expect males to be choosy about their mating partners? Garter snakes, using smell, track down sexually receptive females. Balls of dozens of males, each trying to mate with the female snake, occur. Once mated, the female escapes and never interacts with the males. Male seahorses are actively "courted" by females of their species. Females oviposit eggs into the brood pouches of the males, then move on to court other males. Males do not accept eggs from multiple females. In California elephant seals, males occupy a spot on the beach, and defend a harem of females from rival males. Anthidium bees defend clusters of flowers. Intruding males from the same species are driven away by the territorial, male bees. Females of the species, who visit the flowers for nectar and pollen, are mated by the territory holder as they enter the flower. B and C. According to evolutionary biologists, in a species where both males and females provide extensive parental care, which of the following is expected to be true? Female fitness is determined by the number of copulations they can obtain and not the quality of their mates. Females contribute more of their genes to their offspring. Females should be choosy about their mates. Males should be choosy about their mates. C and DExplanation / Answer
Please find the answers and explanations below:
Answer 37: Choice E (In both of these scenarios, the males seem to be choosy about their mating female and once they have chosen a female, either they personally protect them from other males from mating or do not mate with other females atleast until the fertilization cycle has been completed. This deciphers their choosy and protective behaviour about female mates.)
Answer 38: Choice E (In organisms where male and female counterparts provide equal shares of parental care to their offspring, both male and female partners should look out for best choices of their mating counterparts. Females should look out for strong, sturdy and protective male counterparts and males generally look for fertile females. This mode of parental care is seen in many birds such as penguins.)
