How does the ability to produce 3000 to 6500 eggs benefi t the species?

• It decreases the opportunity for more frogs to compete for limited resources.

• More offspring are likely to survive and reproduce.

• The offspring will be more widely distributed by fast-moving water.

• The chances for asexual reproduction in the frogs will increase.

One explanation for the timing and length of the leopard frog breeding season is that it occurs

• when environmental conditions are most favorable

• 365 days after the eggs have hatched the year before

• 2 to 3 weeks after female frogs have reached sexual maturity

• when there is a greater chance of mutation producing favorable variations

Scientists have incorporated a barley gene into a type of rice and produced rice plants that have much lower methane emissions. It is most likely that the scientists incorporated the barley gene into the rice, producing a new variety, using the process of

• selective breeding

• meiosis, followed by recombination

• genetic engineering

• sexual reproduction, followed by mitosis
