Many factors influence a species mode of reproduction. Use the descriptions of the following species to predict what system of hermaphroditism they probably display. 1. Individuals rarely disperse once they are sexually mature, and the largest males get the most matings. Females protect the eggs. [Select] 2. Resources are of uniform quality and evenly dispersed, so males are unable to monopolize them. Females are larger than males; Males protect the eggs. [Select] 3. Individuals are solitary, rarely meet others, and have no way of knowing the sex ratio in the population. There is no parental care.
