What is Sympatric speciation?
A) When a population is separated from the main group by a barrier and becomes a new species

- Which of the following is an example of sympatric speciation? Group of answer choices a. birds moving to the far side of a mountain range b. squirrel populations on opposite sides of the Grand Canyon c. insects moving to new host plant species d. fish in two different lakesarrow_forwardWhat is a reason that speciation can occur? Organisms within a species are brought into closer proximity by a physical barrier. Organisms within an ecosystem make adaptions that involve different breeding times or interactions. Organisms develop traits that are not beneficial to their survival, and these traits are passed from generation to generation. Organisms develop traits that are beneficial and pass on the same traits to all future generations within the same species.arrow_forwardA population of chipmunks lives across the length of a valley in the mountains. One day a large section of the mountain breaks off, and the resulting rockslide divides the valley in half. Over time, the chipmunks on either side of the rockslide evolve and become different species. What type of speciation is this?arrow_forward
- Given your knowledge of how species evolve, why is it not likely that speciation will occur in the majority of species on the planet as a result of climate change?arrow_forwardWhen the isthmus of Panama (land bridge that connects north and south America) arose about 3 million years ago, it caused species of fish to diverge into sister species located in either the caribean or pacific ocean. Why did they form separate species? A) Because this is an example of sympatric speciation B) Because the tides are different on each side of the land bridge C) Because different predators in each ocean caused the populations to diverge D) Because the populations were reproductively isolatedarrow_forwardTwo species of fish had recently undergone sympatric speciation. The males of each species had a different coloring through which females could identify and choose a partner from her own species. After some time, pollution made the lake so cloudy it was hard for females to distinguish colors. What might take place in this situation?arrow_forward
- The pupfishes in the Death Valley region are an example of which evolutionary process? (a) background extinction (b) allopatric speciation (c) sympatric speciation (d) allopolyploidy (e) paedomorphosisarrow_forwardThe first step leading to allopatric speciation is (a) hybrid inviability (b) hybrid breakdown (c) adaptive radiation (d) geographic isolation (e) paedomorphosisarrow_forwardWhat is required for sympatric speciation to occur? A. Continuous gene flow between different populations B. Geographic separation of populations C. Two populations that are different begin to reproduce and create hybrids D. Emergence of a reproductive barrierarrow_forward
- mountain range separates a population of gorillas. After many generations, the gorillas on different sides of the mountain range cannot produce viable, fertile offspring. What has happened? a. Sympatric speciation c. Parapatric speciation b. Allopatric speciation d. Adaptive radiationarrow_forwardConsider this example. Shorebirds on the Eastern coast of North America feed on the mollusks and tiny crabs along the shore. Birds with tougher beaks are better adapted to crack open the shells of the mollusks, and birds with sharper beaks are better adapted to pierce the shells of crabs. Over time, the shorebirds become two separate species that no longer breed with one another. What type of speciation has occurred? A. Sympatric speciation B. Adaptive speciation C. Microevolution speciation D. Allopatric speciationarrow_forwardA physical barrier separates a single species, causing two separate populations to form. Over time these two populations adapt to their environments. Eventually, these two populations are no longer able to successfully reproduce with each other. This is known as __________. A. Sympatric speciation B. Allopatric speciation C. Autopatric speciation D. Parapatric speciationarrow_forward
