Use the information to answer the following question.
Some species of sea stars are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Increasing ocean temperatures have impacted the environment of sea stars around the world.
Which argument provides the MOST LIKELY explanation for why populations that use sexual reproduction will demonstrate increased survival than those that use asexual reproduction?
A.
The population that uses sexual reproduction will be able to reproduce at a faster rate and replace the individuals that do not survive new environmental conditions.
B.
The population that uses sexual reproduction will reproduce at a slower rate allowing for them to identify and adapt to the new environmental conditions.
C.
The population that uses sexual reproduction will have less genetic diversity which will allow them to adapt to the new conditions more quickly.
D.
The population that uses sexual reproduction will have increased genetic diversity which will allow the population to…

- The following equation is used to calculate the population growth rate, Ro, per generation from a life table. Iy is survival probability from birth to age x and my is fecundity at age x. Ro = Elkm Multiplying ly and my and summing it over all age categories in the life table gives the population growth rate per generation because: Calculating the reproductive output for each age class requires considering the survival probability to that age (a dead individual does not reproduce) and the fecundity at that age by multiplying them with each other. Summing over reproductive output for all age classes gives the total per capita growth rate of the population The fecundity at each age is lower when the survival is higher because of energy constraints. Multiplying probability of survival and fecundity in each age class takes this trade-off into account. Summing over reproductive output for all age classes gives the total per capita growth rate of the population The resulting type of growth…arrow_forwardThere are trade-offs between offspring number and quality as well as between offspring number and parental future reproductive success, explain this in your own words in the space providedarrow_forwardFor which organism would it be advantageous to allocate more resources to reproduction than to growth? A. One with a long life span B. One with low adult survival rates C. One in which fecundity increases with increased body size D. One in which offspring survival is very low E.

- Consider the temperature effect in the sex determination of a turtle species represented in the graph below. 100 What effect would a decrease in temperature below the epivotal temperature have on sex ratios of these turtles? 50 FT MT Temperature Fewer males and females will result. None of the other answers is correct. No difference in the proportion of females to males will result as only colder temperatures will alter the sex ratio in the offspring. More males than females will result. More females than males will result.
