Species A has a breeding call that is completely different from species B. This difference in breeding call leads to (A) prezygotic isolation (B) postzygotic isolation (C) coevolution (D) sympatric speciation
Ans. (A) prezygotic isolation
Explanation: When there is difference in breeding call, their time of sexual cycle is different from one other. Hence, male from one species and female from other species will not have sexual compatibility and therefore these two species will be isolated prezygotically which means that sperm and egg of these two species will not fuse to form zygote.
Species A has a breeding call that is completely different from species B. This difference in...
What is the most important factor that holds a gene pool of a species together and prevents speciation? A. hybridization B. gene flow C. behavioral isolation D. sexual selection E. prezygotic barriers
QUESTION 14 Below is a cartoon depicting various geological events, starting with one large island (panel 1) and ending with four smaller islands sequentially splitting off from each other (panels 2 to 5). Initially, there was only Species A inhabiting on the big island. However, as time went on, more species evolved on these smaller islands, such that at the current time (panel 5), there are five species. Their phylogenetic relationships are shown on the last panel. Please answer questions...
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...
U U . Species Irom Shallow marine habitats are more likely to be preserved than those from desert habitats. -39 Sympatric speciation can occur due to disruptive selection. If there is disruptive selection for the following traits, which trait is most likely to yield sympatric speciation? nswered ut of 2.00 question Select one: O a. Total mass O b. Running speed c. Flowering time oo d. Heavy metal tolerance o e. Metabolic rate The main difference between gradualism and punctuated...
24. Which of the following species concepts is defined by populations of interbreeding individuals that are reproductively isolated from other populations? A. phylogenetic B. ecological C. biological D. morphologicalOn the Bahamian Island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish with a body shape that allows them to swim in short, fast bursts. Other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish with a body shape that allows them to swim continuously for a...
5) Many songbirds breed in North America in the spring and summer, and then migrate to Central and South America in the fall. They spend the winter in these warmer areas where they feed and prepare for the spring migration north and another breeding season. Two hypothetical species of sparrow, A and B, overwinter together in mixed flocks in Costa Rica. In spring, species A goes to the east coast of North America, and species B goes to the west...
21. T/F The limitations of the morphological species concept are that there are possibly "trivial" differences between 2 species, which leads to too many species. 22. Explain Lenski's 3 steps of evolving new function in the bacterium E. coli. 23. Which of the following is not an example of allopatric speciation? a. Darwin's Finches b. Grand Canyon squirrel c. Pacific and Caribbean snapping shrimp d. Drosophila e. none of the above 24. What type of constraint would nipples on men...
Male call from population 1 Male call from population 2 Number of calls approached first Females from population 1 Females from population 2 species of frog has two allopatric populations separated by a deep canyon. The populations have been isolated from each other for at least 10 000 years. For her thesis, a student interested in reproductive isolation performed a mate choice experiment in which she put a female frog between two speakers. One speaker played the call of a...
Which of the following is NOT a mechanism for sympatric speciation? A. polyploidization in which all of the chromosome sets are derived from one species B. host shifts C. genetic divergence in a small isolated population D. polyploidization in which the chromosome sets are derived from different species E. disruptive selection coupled with positive assortative mating

None of these Aristotle is noted for developing the concept of ........ a. Essentialism/Idealism b. Punctuated Equilibrium c. Scala Naturae d. Catastrophism e. The Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics What are vestigial structures? a. These are structures that have different origins that perform thesame task. b. These are structures of the same origin that may look different...
