B)   enhances genetic variability in the species.
C)   enables the species to rapidly colonize habitats that are favorable to that species.
D)   produces offspring that respond effectively to new pathogens.
E)   allows a species to easily rid itself of harmful mutations.

Question 13

A reproductive difference between sea urchins and humans is that

Accepted Answer

A)   the sea urchin egg completes meiosis prior to fertilization, but meiosis in humans is completed after fertilization.
B)   sea urchin eggs are produced by meiosis, but human eggs are produced by mitosis.
C)   sea urchin eggs and sperm are of equal size, but human eggs are much bigger than human sperm.
D)   sea urchins, but not humans, have a need to block polyspermy because only in sea urchins can there be more than one source of sperm to fertilize the eggs.
E)   sea urchin zygotes get their mitochondria from the sperm, but human zygotes get their mitochondria from the egg.
