Members of two separate species mate and produce hybrid offspring that fail to thrive in the environment. The hybrid genotypes do not suit the hybrid organism for survival using any given niche. Eventually, the hybrid genotypes disappear from the environment. This would be due to:
A. hybrid inviability
B. hybrid sterility
C. gametic incompatibility
D. pre-zygotic isolation
E. infra-gametic disruption
1. Sea urchins are broadcast spawners that release clouds of sperm/eggs into the water column. However, the
ability to successfully fertilize the egg by the sperm is restricted to very specific gametic proteins that inhibit
cross species fertilization. This is an example of a
a. Post zygotic barrier b.Habitat isolation c.Mechanical isolation d.Pre zygotic barrier e.Hybrid breakdown
2) In some Drosophila species, conditions in the female reproductive tract do not allow the sperm of other species to survive long enough for fertilization to occur. What mechanism of reproductive isolation is in operation in this example?
a.Temporal isolation.
b.Mechanical isolation.
c.Low hybrid viability.
d.Gametic isolation.

- 3) Allopolyploidy involves a.a genetic divergence that results in nonviable offspring. b.a decrease in chromosome number within a single species. c.an increase in chromosome number following hybridization of different species. d.an increase in chromosome number within a single species.arrow_forwardTwo 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.arrow_forwardIdentify each of the following reproductive barriers as prezygotic or postzygotic. a. One lilac species lives on acidic soil, another on basic soil. b. Mallard and pintail ducks mate at different times of the year. c. Two species of leopard frogs have different mating calls. d. Hybrid offspring of two species of jimsonweed always die before reproducing. e. Pollen of one kind of pine tree cannot fertilize another kind.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forward5a) It is generally considered that blue or purplish colored flowers attract bees as pollinators. Red flowers often attract birds such as hummingbirds as pollinators. Is this an example of prezygotic or postzygotic isolating mechanisms? Why? 5b) The graphs in your textbook show that the parental species are partially isolated by living at somewhat different altitudes in the mountains. In nature, the two parental species are also strongly (but not completely) isolated by using different pollinators (bees vs. hummingbirds). Is the presence of altitudinal separation combined with different pollinators likely to give more reproductive isolation in nature compared to each isolating mechanism alone? Why? 5c) Do the figures showing the F2 generation of the flowers suggest that these traits of flower shape and flower color are polygenic or due to single gene loci? Give a reason for your answer. 5d) Looking at the other graphs for this example that are shown in your textbook, is there any…arrow_forwardIf reinforcement is weak and hybrids are not completely infertile, a. genetic divergence between populations may be overcome by gene flow. b. speciation will occur 100% of the time. c. gene flow between populations will be impossible. d. the speciation will be more likely than if hybrids were completely infertile.arrow_forward
- 1) In allopatric speciation, geographic separation of two populations a.reduces the relative fitness of hybrid offspring. b.is sufficient for speciation to occur. c.allows gene flow between them. d.inhibits gene flow between them.arrow_forwardYou are studying foxes in a national park that has a large lake. You find four populations with different paw colors (shown below) and note their mating habits and hybridization tendencies. Which of the following describes your findings correctly? A The different populations of Red Fox are affected by temporal isolation. B The offspring in the hybrid zones are affected by hybrid inviability. C The fox populations can be considered a ring species. D The fox populations can be considered an adaptive radiation. E The fox populations are affected by vicariance isolation.

- Identify the most accurate statement about population variation. a. Allopolyploidy occurs when chromosomes fail to separate during gametogenesis and then self-fertilization results in a tetraploid offspring. b. Chromosomal duplications and deletions cause large changes due to the changes in gene dosage. c. Traits that are influenced by both environment and genetics are unlikely to be influenced by evolution. d. Gene duplications and deletions occur frequently during equal crossing over that occurs during meiosis I.arrow_forward1. The North American garter snake (Thamnophis) has a number of sympatric populations that can be either terrestrial or aquatic.

A pregnant female rat is transported by an ocean liner to a new continent. B. A meadow containing several species of grasses is exposed to a pesticide that promotes nondisjunction. C. In a very large lake containing several species of fish, the water level gradually falls over the course of several years. Eventually, the large lake becomes subdivided into smaller lakes, some of which are connected by narrow streams.arrow_forward
