Document Summary
Section 1: multiple choice (red answers are correct) Chapter 26: the snake family typhlopidae consists of small, burrowing species with vestigial eyes. Australia, sub-saharan africa, india and some adjacent areas, and south america. In one population, all worms have 27 annuli (rings) on their skin. In the other population, all worms have 29 annuli. You have no idea if they are able to interbreed. The hybrids were first described in 1758 and have a wide distribution, from france across central. Both male and female hybrids exist, but when they mate among themselves, they are rarely successful in producing offspring. Rana ridibunda: male frogs give calls that attract female frogs to approach and mate. Researchers examined mating calls of pairs of closely related tree frogs in south america. One main component of this is construction of bowers that are decorated with brightly coloured objects. Another component of this is the males puff out their chests and make croaking calls while dancing.
