Two parents, who are thought to be different species, mate and produce viable hybrid offspring. When two of these hybrids mate, their offspring are not viable. What is the BEST interpretation of this data? A. The original parents are the same species because they can breed together. B. The original parents are the same species because they can breed together and produce viable offspring. C. The original parents are not the same species because they produce hybrids that impair the species’ development or survival in its environment. D. The original parents are not the same species because they produce hybrids that can have reduced viability and fertility when they mate.
All of the following are examples of prezygotic isolation except? A.) Two closely related species of flowering plants that release and are receptive to pollen at different times B.) Two closely related species of squirrels, one that lives and breeds in woody meadows and another that lives and breeds in the forest interior C.) Two closely related species of song birds whose hybrid embryos die early in development D.) Two closely related species of spiders that have different, species specific, binding proteins on their gametes
What is the biological definition of a species? A) A group of individuals that can breed and produce viable offspring B) A group of interbreeding individuals that share the same environment C) A group of individuals that share a common ancestor
Would each of the following examples of reproductive isolation be considered a prezygotic or postzygotic mechanism? A. Horses and donkeys can interbreed to produce mules, but the mules are infertile. B. Three species of the orchid genus Dendrobium produce flowers 8 days, 9 days, and 11 days after a rainstorm. The flowers remain open for 1 day. C. Two species of fish release sperm and eggs into seawater at the same time, but the sperm of one species do not fertilize the eggs of the other species. D. Two tree frogs, Hyla chrysoscelis (diploid) and Hyla versicolor (tetraploid), can produce viable offspring, but the offspring are sterile.
Assume you are studying two species of lizard that occur in sympatry. In allopatry, Lizard Species A is dark brown but in sympatry is black in color. In allopatry, Lizard Species B is brown but in sympatry is light brown. This example is best described as which of the following? a. Postzygotic Isolation b. Character displacement c. Sympatric speciation d. Genetic incompatibility e. Hybridization
What is a ring species? Group of answer choices A. A connected series of neighboring populations that can interbreed with one another with one end population in the series that are two distantly related to interbreed and thus are separate species B. A connected series of neighboring populations that cannot interbreed with one another with at least two end populations in the series that are two distantly related to interbreed and thus are separate species C. None of the answers are correct D. A connected series of neighboring populations that can interbreed with one another with at least two end populations in the series that are two distantly related to interbreed and thus are separate species
You are examining population genetics of aquatic iguanas that live on the Galapagos islands. When you go to visit, you notice that the iguanas can easily swim to close neighboring islands but would have swim very long distances to reach further islands. Which of the following statements is a likely conclusion from your research? a. Populations are less similar the closer the islands are to each other. b. The further the islands likely have the greatest genetic diversity. c. Larger islands always have the lowest heterozygosity. d. Smaller populations on very small islands exhibit greater population differentiation.
What affect will inbreeding tend to have on genotypic frequencies in a population? a) It will increase the frequency of genotypes that produce a dominant phenotype. b) It will decrease the frequency of genotypes that produce a dominant phenotype. c) It will increase the frequency of homozygous genotypes. d) It will increase the frequency of heterozygous genotypes.
a.) In either a secondary or a primary hybrid zone, what do the graphs above indicate about the relative fitness of the hybrid toads away from the 0-kilometer site on the cline? Why? b.) One explanation for the “stepped cline” in both gene frequencies and morphology is that B. bombina and B. variegata first diverged in allopatry and are now forming a secondary hybrid zone. Is the spatial pattern of genetic and morphological variation consistent with this explanation? Why or why not? c.) What would have to be true for the ecological niches of these two-color forms of toad for disruptive selection to be acting on so many loci in parapatry?
Which of the following would be a good example of premating reproductive isolation? A. Cross-fertilizations between the gray treefrogs, Hyla versicolor and H. chrysoscelis result in a high degree of mortality prior to hatching of hybrid eggs. B. The mule, a hybrid between horses and donkeys is viable, but sterile. C. Males of H. versicolor produce an advertisement call with a much slower pulse rate than males of H. chrysoscelis and females use pulse rate differences to avoid mating with the wrong species. D. Hybrid offspring are produced from matings between leopard frogs and green frogs, but usually die before the tadpoles metamorphose into froglets.
You are studying a population of penguins in Antarctica. Your DNA analysis of this population reveals that for the feather color pattern gene, 35 individuals are homozygous dominant, 35 individuals are heterozygous, and 30 individuals are homozygous recessive. After observing this population for several years, you repeat your DNA study and find that the current generation of penguins has 15 individuals that are homozygous dominant, 10 individuals that are heterozygous, and 75 individuals that are homozygous recessive. Which of the following hypotheses for this data would be supported by this data based on your understanding of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? This population of penguins is maintaining Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to its large population size. The penguins are randomly choosing mates, which has led to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The penguins are very isolated, which is preventing gene flow from affecting Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The recessive phenotype in…
Which of the following statement about the outcome of the evolution of a new species through hybridization is false? a.The new species may have traits that allow it to inhibit environments different from both parental species. b.The new species is always an intermediate of the two parental species c.The new species may have greater genetic diversity and greater trait diversity than the parental species. d.None of the above What are the two ways of looking into evolution in detail? a.Micro frequency change and ascent with modification b.Genotypic and phenotypic modification c.DNA frequency change and inheritance modification d.Allele frequency change and descent with modification Natural selection increases the frequencies of advantageous alleles and decreases deleterious alleles' frequencies. What are the three categories of natural selection depending on the favored traits? a.Directive, selective and native b.Indicative, normative and fixative c.Directional, stabilizing and…
