1.Which of the answers below best describes the class of questions that Insel and Young were addressing when they studied the effect of antidiuretic hormone on monogamous voles by experimentally increasing the number of receptors in the brain?
ultimate; survival-value/adaptation
2. There are many climatological factors that contribute to high levels of rainfall at the equator. Which of the following is NOT a reason for high rainfall at the equator?
There are high levels of solar radiation at the equator. or Temperatures are relatively constant or As warm air rises, it cools and water condenses to form rain.
3. Consider a female firefly that produces pheromones, which in turn cause males of the same species to fly toward her. In this scenario, the male would be the _____ and the female the _____.
proximate; survival-value/adaptation ultimate; developmental/ontogeneticExplanation / Answer
1) Social organization of monogamous is by selective integration with a partner, paternal behaviour level increase and, severe hostility towards strangers for territory defence in many species, rooste and mate. Although, monogamy the evolutionary causes, the proximate, mechanistic is known for pair bonding in monogamous mammals.
2) The Earth equator get larger solar radiations throughout the year, that is converted in long waves radiations after get absorbed by land components and atmosphere. Equator received maximum heat. Thus maximum evaporation and thickest masses of warm humid on the earth, up to height of 18 or 20 km while it is 6 km only at the poles. This causes convection as well as heavy rain throughout the year. The masses of cool and dry air coming from the equatorial regions get condensed and rains, in the tropical regions, return back to ground level which undergo dry conditions in the desert tropical belt.
Temperature are relatively constant is not the reason for high rainfall at the equator.
