Chapter 27, Problem 3TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An individual creature can act independently termed as an organism. An egg is in round or oval shape and which the female species lays. An egg is a reproductive body of an animal.
In other words, an 'Organic vessel' where an 'embryo' develops is termed as an egg. In this the female organism or of animal species lay as a 'means of reproduction'

Which of the following is a selective advantage of induced egg laying for the male flies? Less time and energy is expended by the male. The males do not have to produce as much sperm. More eggs can be fertilized. A male fly's sperm is more likely to be used for fertilization. Submit Request Answerarrow_forwardSome organisms are capable of asexual or sexual reproduction. Under favorable conditions, reproduction proceeds asexually. When conditions become more stressful reproduction switches to a sexual mode. Why? Question options: Sexual reproduction is simple and more rapid allowing larger numbers of offspring to be produced. Sexual reproduction requires two separate individuals, who can mutually provide nutrient support during stress. Sexual reproduction produces individuals with new combinations of recombined chromosomes increasing diversity. Asexual reproduction requires more energy.arrow_forward
