Chapter 17, Problem 7SA
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Maintenance of separate identities of different species is done by prevention of exchange of gene pool between different populations. This prevention of gene flow between two populations is done using different techniques that keep one population isolated from the other.

- These two meadowlarks are two separate species, the eastern meadowlark (Sturnella magna) and the western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta). Although they look very similar and have similar habitats, they are considered different species because Group of answer choices A. the two do not normally interbreed. B. they have different songs. C. they do not share the same habitat. D. their ranges do not overlap.arrow_forwardBiologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this statement mean? A) A) If populations of a species are in different environments, traits that individuals need to meet their needs in each environment will appear. B) Traits can be helpful or harmful. If populations of a species are in different environments, some traits that are helpful in one environment might be harmful in another environment. C) Traits are always either helpful or harmful, and the environment of a population doesn’t matter. If populations of a species are in different environments, the same traits will always be helpful. D) Species were formed to perfectly match their environment. The traits of individuals in a species depend on the specific environment in which they were created.arrow_forwardEvolution that results because certain genotypes have a higher reproductive success is based on a. genetic variation. c. genetic drift. b. natural selection. d. both a and b.arrow_forward
