question 179

Multiple Choice

• A)Montane voles would remain promiscuous, because they express a gene for promiscuity.
• B)Montane voles would become monogamous, because they would be able to receive hormone signals in the same way as prairie voles.
• C)Montane voles would be promiscuous some of the time, and monogamous the rest of the time depending on the female vole.
• D)Montane voles would not mate because the monogamy gene would cancel out the promiscuity gene.
