(Answer) 34(b) Barely measurable amounts of protein and amino acids.

35(b) False – Because the pipefish, like the seahorse have extremely invested male roles and less invested female roles in reproduction.

36(d) None of the answers are correct because triver’s theory revolves around how animals might be responsible for regulating the number of offspring based on the number of male figures present.

37(a) True, survival of the species is the primary cause of procreation.

38(c) The red queen hypothesis suggests that the purpose of procreation is not only the survival of one’s own race but, also to compete with other races.

39(d) Later first sexual experience would suggest a longer-term plan and hence a long-term strategy.
