Chapter 13, Problem 4LTB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Reproductive isolation can be defined as when the environment may carry out an outside barrier to the reproduction, such as a mountain range or river. Pre-fertilization reproductive barriers disturb the jasmine crosses. Reproductive barriers are commonly divided into pre and post-fertilization barriers depending on whether fertilization happens normally.

An organism that produces offspring from eggs that have not been fertilized. An organism that starts as a female and develops into a male.   A. 1, 2, & 3 B. 1 & 3 C. 2 & 4 D. 4 only E. all of 1, 2, 3 and 4arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a prediction of the Fisher-Muller hypothesis? Group of answer choices Asexual reproduction will accelerate the speed at which evolution via natural selection operates in populations. Sexual reproduction will slow down the speed at which evolution operates in populations. Sexual reproduction will accelerate the speed at which evolution via natural selection operates in populations. Sexual reproduction will create linkage disequilibrium among loci.arrow_forwardMost clams reproduce by releasing gametes into the water, and two gametes must fuse for successful reproduction. Two populations of a single species of clams were both kept under natural light and temperature conditions. The first population was housed separately, one clam per tank. The second population was kept as a group in a single tank. During the normal midsummer reproductive period, researchers counted an equal number of individuals releasing gametes in both populations. What hypothesis does this experiment disprove? a. Competition for food induces a switch to sexual reproduction. b. Pheromones are necessary for timing gamete release. c. Light and temperature control pheromone release. d. Light and temperature control gamete release.arrow_forward
- Polygyny is a common mating system in nature. Which one of the following scenarios is LEAST likely to result in a polygynous mating system? Male stalk-eyed flies form leks where receptive females come visit Male Neotropical giant damselfly defend water-filled tree holes, which are the oviposition sites for females. Suitable tree holes for oviposition are rare and females must mate with the resident male in exchange for access to the oviposition sites. Male Bengal tigers defend large territories that contain food sources. Female Bengal tigers visit male territories to mate. The density of the Bengal tiger is extremely low that male tigers rarely encounter more than one female in their lifetime. In the bumblebee-wolf Philanthus bicinctus, females are unreceptive until they finish constructing the long underground burrow as nest sites. Males search for locations containing a number of newly constructed burrows and attempt to control these sites against the intruders. Your cousin Peter…arrow_forwardAssume you are studying a species of slug where the eggs are fertilized and transferred to the male. As a result the male is not able to increase reproductive success by mating with multiple partners. Therefore which of the following about sexual selection in this species is not true?   Females are more likely to develop traits that signal genetic quality to males.   Females will be able to increase reproductive success with increased mating partners.   Sexual selection in males will lead them to be choosy with what females they mate with.   Sexual selection in males will lead them to mate indiscriminately when they find a female.arrow_forwardWhich of these outcomes are examples of reproductive isolation? Select all that apply.  Individuals of different species are physically compatible and can engage in sex  Hybrid individuals cannot produce offspring  Hybrid individuals or their offspring have similar fitness to the original species  Reproduction occurs at different times  Mating occurs but fertilization does not occurarrow_forward
