Answer to Question 1

Arrested development means that during puberty some orangutan males do not fully develop secondary sexual characteristics for sometimes as much as 10 years. This delay serves to make the males less threatening to other males (and so less involved in fighting and other stressful situations). In the end, these males show a large percentage of contribution to the gene pool.
