Decide whether each of the following scenarios would lead to prezygotic or postzygotic reproductive
isolation:
a) Dragonflies from two different populations have genitals that do not match, so they can't mate
successfully [Select ]
b) Two different species of fish have very different courtship displays, but they can mate and produce a
non-fertile offspring [Select]
c) One species of plant flowers in the winter, while another flowers in early spring
[ Select ]
d) The gametes of two tree species can fuse, but a zygote does not form
[ Select ]
e) A mountain range separates two populations of snakes

Which of the following statements about sympatric speciation is correct?
It is a process through which two populations can diverge and develop reproductive isolation while in two different geographic area.
It is the most common mechanism for populations to form independent species.
Postzygotic isolation is the main form of reproductive isolation for the sympatric speciation process.
Genetic isolation through large scale chromosomal mutations, such as chromosome inversion or polyploidy, are more likely contributing to sympatric speciation.
None of the above
The primary mechanism of sympatric speciation is
a)dispersal and colonization of new environments
b)

- If (positive) assortative mating increases in a population, what would expect to happen to genotype frequency over generations? O a) Frequency of the heterozygous genotype will increase. b) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will decrease. O c) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will increase.

Examine the following null hypotheses formulated to explain rates of speciation and extinction of the Kaibab squirrel population as an influx of species continues to migrate into their niche. Null Hypothesis: The rate of speciation (C) remains steady when species compete for available resources while all will continue toward extinction (B). Which of the following graphically depicts the alternative hypotheses?arrow_forward

The closely related cichlids species P. pundamilia and P. nyererei are thought to have arisen by sexual selection. Mate choice by females strongly favors males of their own species that have different body colors. In recent years, pollution has caused the water of Lake Victoria to become turbid in some areas. Hybrids of P. pundamilia and P. nyererei were produced and the gene pools of the two species have started to fuse, creating a new hybrid species. In this process, what are the conditions that led to the fusion of P. pundamilia and P. nyererei? A. Only the prezygotic reproductive barrier is not complete for the two species. B. Only the postzygotic reproductive barrier is not complete for the two species. C. Both the prezygotic and the postzygotic reproductive barriers are complete for the two species. D.

- There is a fish species that lives in a lake. As the fish population grows, competition for food increases and a group of fish locates a new food source at a different depth in the lake. Over time, two populations with distinct morphologies that allow them to eat various food sources begins to occur in the lake. Which type of speciation (allopatric or sympatric) will mostly likely occur? Why?arrow_forwardIn which situation will populations experience gene flow? A)hybridization between two populations of ground beetles B)natural-selection pressures between two populations of dragonflies C)mate competition between two populations of red-legged grasshoppers D)intersecting migration routes between two populations of monarch butterfliesarrow_forwardDifferentiate between how prezygotic and postzygotic isolating mechanisms lead to reproductive isolation.arrow_forward
