please help with these two questions: 1. An earthquake and tsunami, Richter scale of 7, destroyed a small village near the epicenter in Indonesia. Families were separated, food became scarce and the land was too damaged for traveling between now divided landmasses. This situation prevails for an extended time period. Which of these speciation models more than likely will occur under these conditions? a. Sympatric b. Allopatric c. Peripatric d. Parapatric e. None of the above 2. The Hardy–Weinberg theorem is an important mathematical proof because a. It demonstrates that dominant alleles are more common than recessive alleles. b. It demonstrates evolution. c. It demonstrates that a locus can have only one of two alleles. d. It demonstrates that in the absence of outside forces, allele frequencies of a population will not change from one generation to the next. e. It demonstrates that heterozygotes are always better.
Is allopatric speciation more likely to occur on an island close to the mainland or on a more isolated island of the same size? Justify your prediction.
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 Speciation
A defining characteristic of allopatric speciation is Group of answer choices A. Geographic isolation. B. Aasexually reproducing populations. C. Occurance of natural selection. D. The appearance of new species within the distribution range of the parental species.
Hybridization between incompletely isolated populations a. always leads to reinforcement due to the inferiority of hybrids. b. can serve as a mechanism for preserving gene flow between populations, thus preventing speciation. c. only occurs in plants. d. never affects rates of speciation.
Is allopatric speciation more likely to occur on an island close to a mainland or on a more isolated island of the same size? Explain your prediction.
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.
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.
Allopatric, but not sympatric, speciation requiresa. reproductive isolation.b. geographic isolation.c. spontaneous differences in males and females.d. prior hybridization.e. rapid rate of mutation.
