Humans take care of their offspring generally till they are 18. But in some cultures it's as soon as they can marry them off, or they never stop fully taking care of the offspring till the parent themselves die.

What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each?
a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes. for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat is recessive. the long-tailed cat (homozygous dominant) had offsprings with the short-tailed cat (homozygous recessive). by doing the punnett square, 100% of their offspring will be heterozygous.
What happenswhen a species over produce offspring?
The population will diminish. Extinction will occur if insufficient reproduction continues long enough.
Which type of organism would be most likely to have a type II survivorship curve?
Many fish species and other species that have many offspring at once exhibit type the III survivorship curve, because most die early in life. Few live to old age, but most that survive their youth will live a long life. The organisms that exhibit this type of survivorship curve are typically r strategists, so they provide little to no parental care for their offspring, which makes it harder for them to survive, especially in the unusually unstable environments in which they may live.
How long does a hippopotamus stay pregnant?

How long does it take for a female coyote to give birth?
It takes about 60 to 63 days for a female coyote to give birth.
How long after birth do bald eagles parents care for offspring?
Depends on the environment and the eagle. But usually around 6 months to 8 months.
How long do grasshopper offspring depend on their parents?
Zero time.
How long do turtle offspring stay with parents?
age of 21
How long do the hybrid spider monkeys care for there offspring?
a few months
Do sexual and asexual reproduction compare?
Asexual: the offspring has a single parent.Sexual: the offspring has two parents (combining some chromosomes from each parent). In asexual reproduction, as long as there are no mutations, the offspring are identical to the parents; in sexual reproduction, they are not.
How long does the aye-aye live with it's parents?
There have been few observations of aye-aye behavior in the wild, but they appear to have offspring every 2 to 3 years, so the offspring probably stay with their parents for about that long.
What important adaptation did the surviving giraffes pass on to their offspring?
the long necks and what the parents have but sometimes the giraffes wont be the same as the parents
How long do penguins look after their offspring?
Penguin parents will stay with their offspring until their offspring have molted. The length of time until maturity depends on the species of penguin, with smaller penguins taking two to three months to mature, and larger penguins such as the King penguins taking up to 15 months to mature. Once the offspring is able to swim, they are old enough to take care of themselves.
How long are lions looked after by their parents after birth?
Lion cubs are taken care of by the pride and its parents for approximately 3 years. Male lions that reach adolescence are kicked out of the pride by the pride ruling male. Female lions stick to the pride and stay with them for as long as they are alive.
What would the length of eye lashes be to the offspring of a mother with long eye lashes and a father with short eye lashes?
It would depend on the dominant gene: I would compare the mother's parents eyelashes to the father's parents eyelashes, for each of the parent's eyelashes that are long it is an increase in 25% that the offspring will have long eyelashes. Unless half of the father's parents have long lashes then that shows the short lash gene is dominant.
How long after birth does a baby shows which color it will have whites mom or black dad?
If the baby's parents are white and black, the baby may show a mix color. Usually, once they reach childhood from being an infant, the offspring shows which parents' color they will favor, or possibly show both.
How long do the polar bears care for their offspring?
