Question
Would each of the following examples of reproductive isolation be considered a prezygotic or postzygotic mechanism?
A. Horses and donkeys can interbreed to produce mules, but the mules are infertile.
B. Three species of the orchid genus Dendrobium produce flowers 8 days, 9 days, and 11 days after a rainstorm. The flowers remain open for 1 day.
C. Two species of fish release sperm and eggs into seawater at the same time, but the sperm of one species do not fertilize the eggs of the other species.
D. Two tree frogs, Hyla chrysoscelis (diploid) and Hyla versicolor (tetraploid), can produce viable offspring, but the offspring are sterile.

- Accept that coat colour in hamsters is controlled by a single gene. Peter has a white hamster called Snowflake. When Peter crosses Snowflake with a black hamster, three of the baby hamsters are black and three are white. When the black baby hamsters are interbred, they produce only black babies. On the basis of these results, would you conclude that white or black coat colour in hamsters is a recessive trait? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhich is NOT an example of Incomplte Dominance? EXPLAIN WHY? A. a pink flower produced from red and white flowers B. A flower that is both ref and white produced from red and white flowers C.

- Which of the following statements is an evolutionary advantage of sex and sexual reproduction? A. Sex and recombination results in decreased genetic variation in a population and maintains advantageous traits. B. Sex and recombination can bring beneficial alleles together when producing offspring. C. Sex and recombination results in the inheritance of all the genetic information available from both parents. D. Reproduction is less risky when gametes from two individuals must fuse.arrow_forwardIn dioecious plants, males usually produce larger flowers that attract more pollinators than do females.
