Which calculation would you use to calculate the net energy gained from capturing and consuming prey?

• Total energy gained -total energy cost

• Total energy gained + total energy cost

• (Total energy gained) x (total energy cost)

• (Total energy cost per lion) + (Total energy cost per lion)

If each lion needed to consume 12,500 kcals of energy per day to survive, how much total energy would a pride (4) need to consume to survive?

• 25,000 kcals

• 48,000 kcals

• 50,000 kcals

• 60,000 kcals

If lions consume meerkats and gain 5,000 kcals of energy from each one, how many would they need to consume in order to survive? Each lion needs to consume more than 15,000 kcals of energy a day.

• 2 Meerkats

• 3 Meerkats

• 4 Meerkats

• 5 Meerkats

When looking at allele data, how can we determine who the mother is of a cub?

• The cubs alleles have to match both of the mothers alleles for each gene.

• The cub must share at least one allele from each gene with the mom.

• Both mom and dads alleles have to match both of the cubs alleles.

• Dad has to share the same alleles as mom.

What would happen to the genetic diversity of a lion pride if they are located geographically close to one another?

• The prides genetic diversity would continually increase as the females travel between the prides.

• The prides genetic diversity would decrease.

• Their genetic information would all mix as the males travel from one pride to another.

• The prides genetic diversity would relatively stay the same after a certain point.
