Answers to activity 1

1.  A only (B is wrong, because some animals, like insects, simply lay their eggs and do not incubate them. In some birds both the male and female incubate the eggs)
2. B only (A is wrong, because the eggs are not released from the female’s body)
3.  None (Precocial animals are born quite well-developed, they can live independently from their parents and find their own food, so parental care is not required)
4. Both A and B
5. A only (B is wrong, because altricial animals are born small and helpless. They cannot look after themselves or find their own food. Their parents must look after them, protect them and feed them.) (5 × 2) [10)
