Question

Calculate the coefficients of relatedness (r) for individuals A and B, in each of the following sets of relationships In a 1957 paper on the evolution of senescence. George Williams noted that some species, such as carp, continuously grow larger and increase their fertility over the course of their lifespans. Based on our discussion of senescence, what you predict about the rate and timing of senescence in these species when compared to closely related species that do not see continuous increases in fertility?

Explanation / Answer

6. Eusocial species have the types of individuals that reproduce and those that do not reproduce. Such type of arrangement can not be seen in humans. Females are more closely related. The species that develop slower but live longer with having offspring may be a better option than those who live fast and reproduce fast but die soon. Overall it depends on the environment and how well the species are able to adapt to it.
