In lizard species "A" the males approach the females directly, bobbing their whole body up and down
and displaying their bright blue belly patches as they do so. In lizard species "B", the males slither
around the female and bob only their heads. They have no belly patches at all. The females of each
species will reject the males of the other species because of these differences. This is an example of
isolation.

An event occurs where a large population of photosynthetic sun-basking sharks move to a new geographical location, and are unable to return. In their new location, they must rely much more on consuming fish for nutrients, as there are less available places to bask/rest, and higher risk for hunting if they remain at the surface for long periods of time.
What type of prezygotic isolating mechanism occurred?
In 100 years, how do you think the relocated sharks will differ physically from the original population? Give at least 2 features and explain why you think so.
The approximately 600 species of cichlids in East Africa’s Lake Victoria have largely resulted from sympatric speciation. The closely related cichlids species P. pundamilia and P. nyererei are thought to have arisen by sexual selection. Mate choice by females strongly favors males of their own species that have different body colors. In recent years, pollution has caused the water of Lake Victoria to become turbid in some areas. Hybrids of P. pundamilia and P. nyererei were produced and the gene pools of the two species have started to fuse, creating a new hybrid species.
In this process, what are the conditions that led to the fusion of P. pundamilia and P. nyererei?
A. Only the prezygotic reproductive barrier is not complete for the two species.
B. Only the postzygotic reproductive barrier is not complete for the two species.
C. Both the prezygotic and the postzygotic reproductive barriers are complete for the two species.
D. Both the prezygotic and the postzygotic reproductive…

- Geographic variation in the poison arrow frog Ranitomeya imitator illustrates that natural selection will generally favor the same coadapted gene complex regardless of environment. True Falsearrow_forwardWe have documented many examples of this type of speciation occurring. Darwin’s finches are the most famous example. View the model shown. Discuss what kind of geographic barriers would have led to the finch speciation in the Galapagos.arrow_forwardUse each of the following species concepts to write a claim about whether the dark and light fur mice are, in fact, different species. Your claim should demonstrate your understanding of that particular species concept. Mice with light coat colors are found in populations scattered across the southeastern US. Researchers believe the light coat color emerged in a single population. How would a biologist explain the evolution of the light coat color in populations across the southeastern US? Briefly explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- Consider this example. Shorebirds on the Eastern coast of North America feed on the mollusks and tiny crabs along the shore. Birds with tougher beaks are better adapted to crack open the shells of the mollusks, and birds with sharper beaks are better adapted to pierce the shells of crabs. Over time, the shorebirds become two separate species that no longer breed with one another. What type of speciation has occurred? A. Sympatric speciation B. Adaptive speciation C. Microevolution speciation D. Allopatric speciationarrow_forwardSpecies Concepts Review The Baltimore Orioles and Black-backed Orioles species complex has conflicting evidence in support of each being their own species and in support of them being the same species. Review the evidence below for each hypothesis, then, using that evidence, explain whether they should be classified as distinct or the same species based on each species concept. Then, using the overall evidence, decide whether to classify them as the same or different species. Genetic Information (In the Species Concepts lab, we used a "controversial" 10% cutoff. A more realistic cutoff might be 1%. Let's use a 1% cutoff for this activity.) Sequence Differences Baltimore Oriole vs Black- backed Oriole Cytochrome b 0.26% Control region 0.74% 2A. Based on the genetic information above, should the Baltimore Oriole and Black-backed Oriole be classified as one species or two species?arrow_forwardThe diagram below represents the ranges of 3 species (A, B, and C), which are separated by a mountain range and river. It has been hypothesized that these three species arose via vicariance ecological speciation. Specifically, the entire area was originally occupied by a single species. Its range was split first by the mountain range. Later, the river formed, separating populations on the eastern side of the mountains. If this hypothesis is correct, phylogenetic analysis should reveal that: NIS 4 44444 U LEL B All three species are equally related to each other. Species A and B are each other's closest relatives (sister taxa). Species B and C are each other's closest relatives (sister taxa). Species A and Care each other's closest relatives (sister taxa).arrow_forward
- Four Caribbean islands with similar environmental conditions have three different species of anole lizards with specific ecological morphotypes. Lizards Morphotypes Grass lizards Long tails Canopy lizards Large toe pads Twig lizards Short legs Researchers devised two phylogenetic trees to represent two different hypotheses about how the lizards may have evolved. The first hypothesis is that the different body types evolved repeatedly and independently of each island. The second suggests that each morphotype evolved once and spread to different islands. Which of the following statements best explains which type of data the researchers should use to test these two hypotheses, and which phylogenetic tree correctly shows the evolutionary relationships among anoles? Analyzing DNA samples from the anoles would likely show that phylogenetic tree B is correct since it is likely that each body type evolved once and spread to different islands. Analyzing the…arrow_forwardA small number of lizards from a mainland population have been deposited on four isolated islands because of the effects of a rare strong storm. Which of the following best predicts the outcome of these lizards reproducing for many generations on the islands? * The isolation prevents gene flow; thus, the lizards on different islands experience prezygotic isolation. The different species that currently exist are the result of hybridization between lizards from different islands. Speciation results from bottleneck events that happened before the ancestral species reached the islands. Courtship rituals specific to each island lizard species prevent the lizards from interbreeding.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between changes in gene frequencies and adaptations? The change in genes results in adaptations, which in turn, lead to the individual's ability to survive in its environment. The change in genes reduces adaptations, limiting the individual's ability to adapt for survival. The change in genes speeds up the process of adaptations, and the result is adaptations within any species will occur within a year. The change in genes results in adaptations in the individual, but these adaptations cannot be passed on to future generations.arrow_forward

Reproductive isolation necessary to end gene flow Divergence within a population leads to speciation Absence of a physical barrier Presence of a physical barrier Reproductive isolation unnecessary to end gene flowarrow_forwardHow is sympatric speciation different from allopatric speciation? Group of answer choices Allopatric speciation requires a geographic barrier, while sympatric speciation occurs in one place Allopatric speciation results in hybrids, while sympatric speciation does not Allopatric speciation is a result of behavioral isolation, while sympatric speciation is a result of habitat isolation Allopatric speciation occurs in one place, while sympatric speciation requires a geographic barrierarrow_forward
