- Two parents, who are thought to be different species, mate and produce viable hybrid offspring. When two of these hybrids mate, their offspring are not viable. 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_forwardA gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between the two alleles? Choose 1 answer: A. Genetic recombination B. Codominance C. Incomplete dominance D.Chimerismarrow_forwardWhat human traits are represented on a cline? A. Skin color B. Hair color C. Eye color D. All of the abovearrow_forward

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. The mule, a hybrid between horses and donkeys is viable, but sterile. C. 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_forwardBased on the text: 1.
