In Figure 2 a diagram shows how traits are shared (or not shared) in different generations. Based on the diagram:
a. A, represents a plesiomorph trait. In how many generations is A shared (symplesiomorph)?
b. C represents an apomorphictrait. What generations share C (synapomorphy)?
c. E is considered an autapomorphic trait. Why do you think?
d. What about B and D? How do we classify them?
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.
Explain the type of speciation (allopatric, parapatric, or sympatric) most likely to occur under each of the following conditions:
A. 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.

- If 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_forwardThe goldenrod gall fly mates and lays its eggs on the goldenrod plant and the larva live inside the plant. When a new species of goldenrod (goldenrod B) moves into the range of the fly some of the flies move to goldenrod B. How does this process allow for sympatric speciation of the flies? Group of answer choices A. the two plants have different chromosome numbers B. the flies only reproduce on their host plant C. hybrids are always more successful than either type of fly D. a predator keeps the two types of flies separated E. the two plants occur in different geographic areasarrow_forward1) 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_forward
- While donkeys and horses have ignored each other historically in the wild, hybrids can be made through artificial insemination. The resulting hybrids are unusual in that they are generally viable, but always sterile. Because of their sterility, a blended lineage of the two animals cannot exist. What evolutionary force is this an example of? A. Prezygotic barrierB. Postzygotic barrierC. Allopatric SpeciationD. Sympatric Speciationarrow_forwardWhich of the following is not an event that can contribute to allopatric speciation? a. A mountain range forms and splits two populations into populations that begin to turn into new species. b. A subset of individuals disperse to a far away island and begin to turn into a new species. c. Two populations breed in the same location but at different times, and therefore begin to turn into two new species. d. A river splits a population into two populations and the two populations begin to diverge on either side of the river. e. All of these are potential contributors to allopatric speciation.arrow_forwardSeveral new tetraploid species of a plant called salsify (Tragopogon) have arisen in western North America. These new species each arose from a diploid species that went through the process of allopolyploidy. This mode of speciation is a type of ________ and it occurs ________. A. allopatric speciation; almost instantaneously B. sympatric speciation; gradually C. allopatric speciation; very slowly D. sympatric speciation; quicklyarrow_forward
- Indicate whether each of the following conditions would tend to cause speciation to occur faster (F), or if it would tend to slow down or prevent speciation (S). Put either an F or an S in each box. A. a small sub-group of a population becomes geographically isolated from the main population and experiences new environmental conditions B. a large population of herbivores lives in an environmental where the conditions have remained stable over a long period of time C. a colony of monkeys clinging to floating debris is washed out to sea by a storm and lands on an island with diverse habitats, abundant food, but without any other primates D. a large population of a migratory species splits up every year and takes different routes to their common mating territoryarrow_forwardWhich of the following may be true of two species that are a result of allopatric speciation? Select all that apply. a They will be genotypically similar. b They will be phenotypically similar. c They can produce viable offspring. d They will be geographically isolated.arrow_forwardProblems with the biological species concept include the fact that a. many species reproduce asexually. b. postzygotic isolating mechanisms decrease hybrid viability. c. prezygotic isolating mechanisms are extremely rare. d. All of the choices are correct.arrow_forward

Therefore, the possesion of wings in this scenario is known as?arrow_forwardIf two species of holly (genus Ilex ) flower during different months, their gene pools may be kept separate by: a. mechanical isolation. b. ecological isolation. c. gametic isolation. d. temporal isolation. e. behavioral isolation.arrow_forwardPlant species A has a diploid number of 8.
