Two species of turtles belonging to the same genus occasionally cross paths in nature and attempt to mate. However the shape of their shells makes mating nearly impossible so fertilization rarely occurs. What mechanism is keeping these two turtle species separate? Mechanical isolation Behavioural isolation Geographic isolation Hybrid isolation Temporal isolation

Two sympatric species of wildflowers grow the same habitat but hybrids are extremely rare in nature despite the facts that viable hybrids can easily be produced in the lab. The rarity of hybrids is hypothesized to be the consequence of the difference in the blooming season because one species blooms in April while the other blooms in June. This hypothesis is referring to what type of reproductive isolation? Question 6 options: Mechanical isolation Behavioural isolation Temporal isolation Habitat isolation Gametic isolation
Two species of iguana in the Galapagos share a common ancestor from the mainland of South America. The two species live on the same island, but differ in the timing of their breeding seasons. This is an example of a ____. Hybrid breakdown Mechanical isolation Temporal isolation Gametic isolation
What is the nature of the reproductive barrier between a species that mates at dawn (sunrise) and a species that mates at dusk (sunset)? gametic temporal habitat behavioral mechanical A mountain range divides a freshwater snail species into two isolated populations. Erosion eventually lowers the range and brings the two populations together again, but when they mate, the resulting hybrids all produce sterile young. This scenario is an example of allopatric speciation gradualism punctuated equilibrium extinction sympatric speciation
Which is mandatory for speciation to occur? • reproductive isolation • migration •divergence in traits •geographic isolation vicariance
Two species evolve different preferences for which tree to live on. The trees are found in the same forest and thus two species are produced from the same geographic location. This is best described as which of the following? Sympatric speciation Vicariance speciation Dispersal speciation Allopatric speciation
A new species seems to be forming in areas where there is geographic separation between the divergent populations. If true, this would represent an example of: Peripatric speciation Genetic drift Sympatric speciation Adaptive radiation Allopatric speciation
Under which of the following conditions is a population most likely to evolve? phenotypic variation random mating no gene flow a large population genetic drift What does hybrid sterility refer to? temporal isolation mechanical isolation allopatric speciation a prezygotic isolating mechanism none of the above
Two species of frogs belonging to the same genus occasionally mate. Fertilization occurs, but the offspring fail to develop and hatch. Which reproductive isolating mechanism is acting to keep the two frog species separate? Group of answer choices hybrid inviability prevention of gamete fusion mechanical isolation behavioral isolation temporal isolation
Males of one mouse species are too small to mate with females of another species. This is an example of what kind of reproductive barrier? Group of answer choices Hybrid Inviability Mechanical Isolation Behavioral Isolation Temporal Isolation Habitat Isolation
A poodle (Canis lupus familiaris) and a gray wolves (Canis lupus) can interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring. These dogs are very similar genetically , although their are quite different in appearance. Which species concept is most likely to place poodles and wolves together into a single species? Question 19 options: biological alone morphological alone morphological and phylogenetic phylogenetic alone biological and phylogenetic
Imagine two populations of penguins live in the same ecosystem. One population begins to exchange stones as a mating ritual while the other population begins to dance by shifting from one foot to the other. Individuals from each population will only mate with individuals that display the appropriate mating ritual. Which type of reproductive isolation mechanism does this scenario describe? Geographic Isolation Habitat Isolation Temporal Isolation Behavioral Isolation
