Births, deaths, and emigration/immigration define life history

1a. What are the different strategies for reproduction of semelparous and iteroparous pecies? What environmental strategies favor each one and why? (Inlude the trade-off strategy in discussion) (Explain with examples)

1b. Describe 2 organisms that have very different iteroparous life histories. Describe the environment the organisms grow in and their strategies for growth and reproduction. Relate answer to life history for evolution.

(K-strategists are organisms that have pretty low offspring production but high parental investment. K-strategists are most likely operating in a place where the population is at equilbrium in terms of envrionmental pressures on population size, or a slow life cycle. R-strategists are organisms that have many offspring but have small parental investment, r is a value of reproduction, or fast life cycle.)

In various reptiles, temperature determines sex during development. Some scientists suggest that as Earth's climate becomes warmer, sex ratios in these species will be biased and the animals will become even more endagered. Is this concern warranted and why? What might happen to these populations as a result?

The Sucker's Gambit cancer therapy relies on what evolutionary phenomenon or strategy? (Select one).

A. Cells in a tumor differ from one another and actually compete with one another. Thus a goal is to find a way to make chemotherapy sensitive cells OUTCOMPETE non-sensitive cells BEFORE apply chemotherapy.

B. Cells in a tumor are different from one another. Attacking the chemotherapy resistant cells with pathogens will make them more susceptible to chemotherapy.

C. Neither answer is correct.

you have been shown two cells under a microscope. One is small, contains many mitochondria and numerous glycogen granules. The other is somewhat larger, has only a few mitochondria and no glycogen granules. (1) Explain which cell is more suited for aerobic cellular respiration. (2) Explain which cell is more suited for anaerobic cellular respiration. (3) Which cell do you think is more metabolically active and why?

Write the reactions by which aspartate donates its nitrogen for synthesis of arginine and urea. Where does the aspartate nitrogen bind to citrulline? Where do the carbons of aspartate go after the nitrogen is left on citrulline (what is the product) and where does that product fit into the rest of metabolism?
