Afemale zebra finch reared by a father with a red feather taped to his head will select a mate with a similar ornament over an unornamented male. what are plausible ultimate explanations for this behavior (i. e., why it occurs in the context of natural selection)? a) a female zebra finch learns to recognize suitable mates by observing her father. b) a female zebra finch that chooses a mate that resembles her father is more likely to reproduce successfully. c) zebra finches are able to perceive ornamentation on other birds.

B)

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that one possible main explanation is that a female zebra finch that chooses a mate that resembles her father is more likely to reproduce successfully. This is due to the fact that they have seen this ornament as a symbol of the male becoming a father thus being more likely to reproduce successfully.

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen
