the following statements about gametes and reproductive allocation is NOT
true? a. Females always produce bigger gametes than males. b. Each gamete requires the same amount of resources to produce, no matter what its size. c. An egg cell is larger than a sperm cell. d. For both males and females, the amount of resources devoted to each gamete is affected by the size of the gamete. e. For both males and females, the number of gametes they can produce in a breeding season is affected by the amount of resources they must devote to each gamete.
