Which strategy allows lions to be more successful and effective hunters, and why?
Hunt smaller prey solo - they can do it faster alone, still gain enough energy from the prey
Hunt larger prey in a group - they can share the energy cost of hunting, gain more energy

Protection, safety in numbers
All female lions’ genetic material will be passed along, since they are all related to the cubs
More cubs = more help hunting later on

Observation Data
Karyotyping
DNA genotype
None of the above
Why are chromosomes paired?
One set of the chromosomes comes from the mother and the other set comes from the father.
Both sets come from the mother
Both sets come from the father
There is only one set of chromosomes

Which of the following would be considered an abiotic factor in the lions' environment that affects their survival?
Which of the following would be considered a biotic factor in the lions' environment that affects their survival?
A carnivore is an animal which
hunts and eats other animals. Can only be predator.
hunts and eats other animals. Can be both prey and predator.
eats both plants and other animals. Can be both prey and predator.
eats only grass and plants. It's usually a prey.

common names for those animals
Italian names for those animals
French names for those animals
scientific names for those animals

Hunting larger prey more often
How many alleles do offspring receive from their father?
0 copies
1 copy
2 copies
Why did we need to examine multiple genes? (choose all that apply)
only FCA 77 gene can tell us who the father is
we need to examine multiple genes to have enough information to eliminate the other males
individuals may share some alleles even if they are not parent and child
Which male lions below can be ELIMINATED as possible fathers for cub 709 based on the genotype data shown?
lion 631
lion 633
lion 695
lion 668
Why would it be beneficial for a lion like Lulu to help raise cubs that are not her own offspring?
(select all that apply)
females in a pride are sisters & mothers, so she shares genetics with her nieces,nephews, etc
watching the cubs frees up other females to hunt, which helps the whole pride get enough calories
by watching the cubs Lulu will have extra free time for hunting her prey
she will lose extra calories by nursing extra cubs
