Compare and contrast the physiology of the human sexual response
in the male and the female, including stimuli, nervous regulation,
and effector targets. How are they similar and how are they
different? How does this relate to reproductive developmental
homology?

backwardation and normal backwardation. (1.5
marks)
c.
Explain the relationship
between contango, cost-of-carry, and convenience yield.
d.
Explain the relationship

Compare and contrast asexual and sexual reproduction: what are
the principle advantages and disadvantages of each? Why do nearly
all living organisms have some form of sex during their life
cycle?
Explain the two sources of genetic diversity that result from
meiosis. Why is crossing over (recombination) especially important
for the adaptive evolution of a species.
