Sexual dimorphism, or phenotypic differences between the sexes within a population, would be expected when:
a. there are difference in reproductive investment between males and females
b. There is no variation in phenotype between males and females
c. there is no sexual selection on males or females
d. investment in reproduction between males and females is equal
e. heritability is zero

Starting with fundamental difference between the sexes, explain why males tend to be under stronger sexual selection than females.
ON MULTIPLE CHOICE, CIRCLE LETTER OF ALL CORRECT ANSWERS!!! 31. (2 pts) True or False. Sexual dimorphism is the phenomenon that caused biologists to focus on sexual selection. 32. ( pts) What is the most important basic underlying difference between the sexes that causes sexual selection to usually operate differently in males than in females? A. The cost of reproduction is usually higher in females. B. The cost of reproduction is usually higher in males. C. Males have only 1...
Seems like one answer was correct above. Partial Question 1 0.33/1 pts Three of the following six items correctly complete the statement, "Sexual dimorphism is "while the other three do not. Which three are correct? Usually caused by sexual selection. An evolutionary consequence of different levels of investment of males and females in mating and parental care. Any morphological feature that is influenced by reproductive hormones. Not present in humans. A difference in the sexes that always takes the form...
Name, and briefly discuss the evolutionary process that would lead to the differences in appearance between the two sexes, and discuss how those differences would affect survival and reproductive success of both males and females in this species
Why is it impossible to understand the differences in traits between groups by measuring narrow-sense heritability of those traits within the groups? What is the difference between saying there is no genetic basis for a trait and saying that all of the phenotypic variation in a trait for a given population can be explained by variation in environment?
Nitrogen fixation is a key component of biogeochemical cycling. It also represents an important inter-species interaction, which is: A. Commensalism between bacteria and animals B. Competition between plants and fungi C. Predation of bacteria by plants D. Mutualism between plant and bacteria In 1983, a population of dark-eyed junco birds became established on the campus of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), which is located many miles from the junco's normal habitat in the mixed-coniferous temperate forests in the...
1. What happens to the within-group and between-group genetic variation of the population when gene flow occurs in the population? 2. What happens to the within-group and between-group genetic variation of the population when genetic drift occurs in the population? 3. When only one type of allele at a locus is found for a gene, what is this called? 4. What happens to a genetic variation within a population when natural selection is acting on a population? 5. What happens...
28. (correlation with a negative Z score). Consider a population of sharks with a mean body length of 10 m and a standard deviation of 1 m. The mean body weight is 5 tons with a standard deviation of 1 ton. The correlation between body length and body weight is 0.5. What is the expected mean weight of sharks that measure 8 m long? a. 7 tons b. 6 tons c. 5 tons d. 4 tons e. 3 tons B16...
need help with this .. From the pages 571-587 attached below. 1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite resistant genotype that spreads through the population through natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this host parasite “arms race”.? 1b) What is this name...
20. Phenotypic plasticity A. is when an organism survives but not does not reproduce. B. only happens for animals, not plants C. is the altered phenotype of organism based on variation in genotype. D. none of the above 21. Commensalism is when A. for example, there is colonization by a gastrointestinal bacterial species that provides neither a benefit nor an ailment for the host B. there is an exaptation due to hybridization C. there is a mixture of chromosomes as...
