How did the computer simulation study by Morton et al. (2013 Mate choice and the origin of menopause), which we discussed in class, NOT support the grandmother hypothesis? A: Menopause evolved because men have more offspring than women. B: Menopause evolved because men prefer to mate with younger women, leading to the accumulation of deleterious mutations in older females that reduce fertility, leading to menopause. 24: Why is cannibalism in toads and salamanders an example of kin selection? A: They do not mate with siblings. B: They do not eat their own kin. C: They do not respond to calls from siblings. 25: In relation to the rate-of-living theory of aging, one line of evidence that we discussed that does NOT supporting this theory is: A: One can select for increased lifespan. B: Lifetime expenditure of energy is not the same in all higher organisms. C: A and B are correct.
