Describe the main difference between the two circulatory systems shown in Figure 33-3

Diagram 1 is a four chambered heart while Diagram 2 is a three chambered heart. The 4-chambered heart consists of 2 atria and 2 ventricles. The 3-chambered hear consists of 2 atria but only one ventricle

Name the heart chambers labeled E,F,G, and H in Diagram 1 of Figure 33-3

E & H - atrium F & G - ventricle

The Fisher's lovebird builds its nest with long strips of vegetation that it cuts with its beak. A closely related species, the peach-faced lovebird, cuts shorter strips for its nests. When these two species are interbred, the hybrid offspring cut strips of intermediate length for their nests. These observations suggest that this aspect of nest building...
