Someone once said that if we could connect the auditory fibers coming from the cochlea (in the ear) to the visual cortex, and the visual fibers from the retina to the auditory cortex we would then see thunder and hear lightning. If this were the case what hypothesis would you use to explain these results?

Which of the following mechanisms is likely result in allopatric speciation? - Chromosomal rearrangement - Vicariance - Genetic drift - Sexual selection - Host plant shift
The data presented in Part D shows the results of artificial selection for hairy Wisconsin Fast Plants. Identify the null hypothesis for this investigation? A. If the mean number of trichomes is greater in the second generation than in the parent population, then selection has occurred. B. There will be no difference between the mean number of trichomes in the second generation compared to the parent population. C. As a result of selection, the mean number of trichomes will be greater in the second generation. D. If plants with the most trichomes in the first generation are selected as parents, then the second generation will have more trichomes.
Which variable increases the likelihood of allopatric speciation taking place more quickly? Question 4 options: Lower rate of mutation Increased instances of hybrid formation Longer distance between divided groups Equivalent numbers of individuals in each population
Imagine a field of monkey flowers. Some of them are pink and others are red. It turns out that the pink flowers are pollinated mostly by bumblebees, whereas the red flowers are pollinated mostly by hummingbirds. As a result pink flowers are fertilized mostly by pollen from other pink flowers, and red flowers are fertilized mostly by pollen from other red flowers. The pink and red flowers have become separate species. What type of speciation is this? Sympatric speciation type (my answer) What mechanism of reproductive isolation was involved? ??
Speciation can be initiated when grasses colonise contaminated soils at former mine sites from adjacent benign soils. What type of speciation is occuring here (allopatric, parapatric or sympatric)? explain your answer.
The biological species concept depends on the existence of barriers to reproduction. What are they? Does this species concept apply in all situations? Think of an example from nature where the biological species concept would NOT be that applicable. Which species concept would be better in this example? How does speciation occur? What environmental factors might contribute to speciation? Can an individual speciate? Use terminology for the two kinds of speciation we have learned about. What is “gene flow”? What does it mean if there is NO gene flow? Two groups of individuals are separated by either side of a canyon. One researcher found that they do not cross the canyon at any point. The group on the north side have fluffy tails and thicker coats, and they do not eat moss. The south side individuals eat moss almost exclusively, have a thin coat and tail, but otherwise are generally identical. When in the lab they mated successfully, and the offspring of that mating also mated…
Is allopatric speciation more likely to occur on an island close to the mainland or on a more isolated island of the same size? Justify your prediction.
Two species of plants grow along a mountain slope. One species grows mainly at low altitudes, and the other grows mainly at higher altitudes. Occasionally, the two species hybridize producing hybrids that are better suited than the parental species to grow at intermediate altitudes. This scenario would lead to Question 7 options: reinforcement autopolyploidy a stable hybrid zone hybrid breakdown the fusion of the two species
Is allopatric speciation more likely to occur on an island close to a mainland or on a more isolated island of the same size? Explain your prediction.
In experiment of genetic drift, suppose you have a population of 300 butterflies. if the population experiences a net growth of 12% in the following year, how many butterflies do you have? Now supposed you have 300 eggs, but only 70% of those eggs become caterpillars, and only 80% of the caterpillars become adult butterflies. How many butterflies do you have? (For simplicity, assume that all butterflies survive to the next year in this example.)
A large plant arose in a natural population. Qualitatively, it looked just the same as the others, except much larger. Is it more likely to be an allopolyploid
