Assignment help – Discussion
Great crested grebe’s best match was Door #2 due to the ability to form a strong bond through nest building. The two close options are tube sponge, which does not like long term, and the angler fish does not match successful reproduction.
Sage grouse’s best match was Door #2 due to the ability to successfully bred like his mate and its position within the lek. The two close options are the fruit bat, which congregates in leks but is not ideal as it hangs upside down in trees, and the Uganda Kob, which also lives in the open like sage grouse but is not ideal due to physical appearance and species.
The satin bowerbird’s best match was Door #2 due to their ability to wooed mates with words and patience as key to regular refurbishing their bower. The close two matches were both satin bowerbirds, although they appear in Door #1, which had a weakness of lackluster decorating skills, and in Door#3, which had a weakness of artistic style.
The burying beetle’s best match was Door #3 due to the ability to migrate in long-distance and strong fighting ability. The two close matches were the fruit fly, which has a week fighting ability, and the African elephant, which does not match the species’ reproduction.
Eastern gray tree frog’s best match was Door #3, due to the great ability to match in his environment like its mate a has a great singing voice. The two close matches include the cope’s tree frog that has a great singing voice and the eastern green tree frog, which cannot reproduce successfully with the eastern grey tree frog.
