(a)
To Determine: If the given statement is true or false.
Introduction: Zoologist Mayr first used the term "biological species" in the nineteenth century and described it as groups of potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively separated from other similar groupings. This concisely describes what is now referred to as the "Biological Species Concept," a non-phylogenetic species concept because it is a hypothetical interbreeding process without any allusions to ancestry.
(b)
To Determine: If the given statement is true or false should be determined.

- Choose any two (2) of the following endangered species from the list below: Amur Leopard Tiger Plains Bison Vaquita Black Rhino Polar Bear Green Turtle Orangutan Saola Blue Whale Sumatran Elephant African Hunting Dog Great White Shark Click on the common name and you will be directed to the species page. Answer the following questions: What is the common name for the species? What is the scientific name? What is the status of the species (i.e. critically endangered, endangered, threatened, vulnerable, near threatened, least concern) What is the current population of the species and where are they found and their current habitat? Why does the species matter to the environment? What are the specific threats that the species face?arrow_forwardPlease find the correct answer answer C is not correct.arrow_forwardMatch the terms in the left column to the appropriate blanks on the right. Terms can be used once, more than once, or not at all. shared trait distantly dependent similar analogous homologous different common ancestor closely independent Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in different lineages. It occurs when distantly related organisms obtain a shared trait trait due to analogous needs. Such resemblance is said to be homologous. Therefore, species with traits that appeared convergently do not have a common ancestor Submit Previous Answers Request Answer Reset Help X Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remainingarrow_forward

- The biological species concept primarily focuses on which of the following criteria for defining a species? Interbreeding and reproductive isolation Phylogenetic relationships Ecological roles Morphological similaritiesarrow_forwardMatch Column A with Column B. The use of comparative genomics to infer evolutionary relationships among species The study of macromolecules changes through time inferred phylogeny of a set of DNA sequences an estimated evolutionary history of a set of species The apparently constant rate of change…arrow_forwardMatch the correct label to locations A, B and C on the figure below. Evolutionary history, or phylogeny, is represented visually by a phylogenetic tree. Trees have a common structure, with a root, nodes, and branches. To determine evolutionary relationships among living or extinct organisms, consider the most recent common ancestors. Lizard C: Natural selection leads to new species or groups of species.
