Mammalogy Quizzes Ch. 23-24 Question 1 of 10 10.0 Points Why is dispersal male biased in polygamous species? A. Female philopatry is advantageous since females provide more parental care whereas males suffer from inbreeding and competition from philopatric behavior. B. Heterozygosity is increased with male philopatry which in turn increases female reproductive fitness. C. Males benefit from giving high level of parental care and females benefit from reduced resource competition. D. Male philopat...

MBG 2040 / MBG2040 QUIZ 2 ANSWERS Question 1 Inbred lines of self-fertilizing plants are typically homozygous for many genes and are often less vigorous than hybrid lines, this is referred to as: Inbreeding Depression Heterosis Hybrid vigour Allelism Question 2 Fatal Familial Insomnia is an inheritable prion disease caused by a mutation in the gene (PrPC) encoding the human prion protein (hPrP). The mutated allele (PrPSC) codes for a prion protein that replaces the typical α-h...
