Chapter 14, Problem 2MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
When a horse and a donkey are mated, the mule is obtained as a product. Thus, mule is a hybrid and develops normally into strong, healthy adult but it is an example of infertile hybrid as mule cannot pass their genetic information down to future generations, so they are genetic dead-end.

What is the BEST interpretation of this data? A. The original parents are the same species because they can breed together. B. The original parents are the same species because they can breed together and produce viable offspring. C. The original parents are not the same species because they produce hybrids that impair the species’ development or survival in its environment. D. The original parents are not the same species because they produce hybrids that can have reduced viability and fertility when they mate.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would be a good example of premating reproductive isolation? A. Cross-fertilizations between the gray treefrogs, Hyla versicolor and H. chrysoscelis result in a high degree of mortality prior to hatching of hybrid eggs. B.

Males of H. versicolor produce an advertisement call with a much slower pulse rate than males of H. chrysoscelis and females use pulse rate differences to avoid mating with the wrong species. D. Hybrid offspring are produced from matings between leopard frogs and green frogs, but usually die before the tadpoles metamorphose into froglets.arrow_forward
