Concept explainers
Explain your answer in some depth and avoid just saying "It is A" or It is B. Defend your answer and explain why you choice that answer choice.
Question: Which would be an example of two populations considered separate species based on the lineage species concept?
Group of answer choices
A) Two squirrel populations in which one was red and the other was brown
B) Two warbler populations in which the females strongly prefer to mate with males of the same population
C) Two plant populations that are capable of producing fertile hybrids
D) Two dragonfly populations that have accumulated several differences in their DNA sequences
Question: Which mechanism can lead to selection against hybridization?
Group of answer choices
A) Hybrid sterility
B) Mechanical isolation
C) Gametic isolation
D) Temporal isolation
E) Behavioral isolation
Which of the following results from the uneven heating of land masses and creates winds that blow from low to high elevation?
Step by stepSolved in 2 steps
D) Two dragonfly populations that have accumulated several differences in their DNA sequences
How do you know that is the answer? I thought we were not allowed to use DNA sequences in the lineage species concept.

- Use the information below to answer questions 3-6. There may be a number of possible alleles for a given gene within a population. In a multiple allele system the dominance relationships between the various alleles must be considered. One of the more familiar examples of a multiple allelic system is that of human ABO blood types. The gene involved codes for a protein on the outside of red bloods cells. Three alleles (IA, IB and i) determine whether the protein is present or absent and the form of the protein present. The A and B alleles code for the A and B forms of the protein and are co-dominant to each other. The O allele (i) codes for no protein and is recessive to both A and B alleles. This means there are four possible blood types (A, AB, B, and O). Show the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring from a cross between a homozygous male with type A blood and a homozygous female with type B blood.arrow_forwardIn a population of 500 fruit flies, 250 are genotype RR, 100 are genotype Rr and 150 are genotype rr.
