A species is
a. Local population that does not breed with other similar
populations, although they could.
b. An individual that has characteristics different from all other
organisms.
c. A group of organisms in which individuals can produce offspring
that also reproduce.
d. All of the choices.
Homework Answers
Option C - A group of organisms in which individuals can produce offspring that also reproduce
- A species is defined as a group of organisms in which individuals can produce offspring that also reproduce
- Option A is false - Local population breed with the similar population in a species
- Option B is false - Species have common characteristics

1-There is a population of individuals which are
geographically isolated from other populations of their species.
Their population mates randomly, has no net mutations in their
genome, and is not subjected to natural selection pressures.
However, their population is small, only 200 individuals. The gene
for fur color in this population has two alleles in a
dominant-recessive relationship, A and a. If allele A is currently
at a frequency of 0.8 and allele a is at 0.2:

Which of the following statements does not play a direct role in natural selection? Read all choices before answering the question. a) Artificial selection. b) Individuals within the population, who have the greatest reproductive fitness, are those who produce the greatest number of offspring, who survive to reproduce the subsequent F2 ("grandkids") generation. c) A species will produce more offspring than environmental resources can support. Consequently, not all individuals survive and there is a competition for limited resources. d) Competition...

What is a challenge that can make it difficult to apply the Phylogenetic Species Concept? Understanding whether the environmental requirements of the organisms overlap. Determining whether the organisms recognize each other as potential mates. Testing whether or not the organisms can reproduce and produce viable offspring. Polymorphism leading to different forms in a population.

Which of the following would best test the hypothesis that two populations of very similar squirrels, isolated from contact with each other, are different species? You should identify the correct answer and clarify why the other statements are incorrect by adding a brief explanation for each statement. Examine many individuals to determine whether there are any morphological differences between the two populations. Examine the environments in the two locations to determine whether the same selection pressures would be operating. Capture...

1. Population is not used in describing species. Population is a group of organisms of the same species populating a given area, a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and interbreed, producing fertile offspring. Interbreeding, sexual reproduction, natural selection and color are used in describing species. Individuals in an interbreeding population share in a common gene pool. My question is can you tell me how interbreeding, sexual reproduction, natural selection and color are...

Consider a group of bacteria that you are trying to classify as either the same species or different species. They are morphologically identical, reproduce by binary fission but live in slightly different environments. Which species concept(s) could be applied to these organisms? Select All that Apply. A) Binomial B) Morphological C) Phylogenetic D) Ecological E) Biological I have my assumptions but I wanted to some input on this. Please explain your reasoning for all selections and for those that you...
The biological species concept defines a species as a group of populations whose members have the...
The biological species concept defines a species as a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring. This means that all members of these populations can contribute to a common gene pool. These populations belong to the same species. Genes are transferred between these populations through both direct and indirect gene flow. Biologists used genetic techniques to look for gene flow in 12 wild populations of mice. The populations (designated A...

Question 4 When a gene pool experiences gene flow, this means that individuals capable of reproduction are moving between populations O the gene pool is undergoing mutations Individuals flow out of a population to colonize a new habitat in small populations, the frequency of alleles is altered due to chance events D Question 5 Which is an example of a post-zygotic reproductive isolation?

Which condition can lead to two populations becoming different species? all of these A barrier to gene flow exists between the two populations. Individuals in the two populations have significant genetic differences from one another. Individuals may live in geographically isolated areas. Individuals in the two populations mate at different times. Which of these is NOT an example of adaptive evolution? bottleneck all of these gene flow founder effect Mutation Which of these does NOT influence allele frequencies in a...

Could someone check my answers, please? 1. Suppose that a species of fish has split into two populations in a lake: one on the eastern side and one on the western side. How could you determine whether the two populations constitute different species? A. Examine the populations for morphological, color, or other physical differences. B. Examine the populations for different genetic markers and allele frequencies. C. Attempt to breed members from the two populations in captivity. D. Introduce members from...
