Which of the Following is NOT True About Sex-Role Reversed

Question

Which of the following is NOT true about sex-role reversed species?
A) Females produce smaller gametes than males.
B) Females often possess ornaments.
C) Males often provide higher levels of parental care than do females.
D) Polyandry is common.
E) Females often aggressively compete for males.

Accepted Answer

In sex-role reversed species, it is still the females who produce larger gametes (eggs), while males produce smaller gametes (sperm). This aspect of gamete size does not reverse even in species where other traditional sex roles, such as parental care and mating competition, are reversed.
