b. because the evolutionary changes that two populations acquire while adapting to different habitats may have the effect of making them reproductively isolated.
c. by favoring the same evolutionary change in multiple populations.
d. by favoring intermediate

- If gene flow between two populations stops, which of the following could occur given enough time? a. speciation b. the population each gain unique alleles c. the timing of reproduction changes ending their ability to interbreed d. frequencies of alleles shift in different ways e. these are all things that could occur if gene flow between two populations of one species ended, given enough timearrow_forwardIn nature, when a lone male lion encounters a pride (a group of lions with a male leader), the two males will often fight to become head of the pride. It has been documented that if the foreign lion wins the battle, he will usually kill the offspring of the weaker lion’s pride. This natural selection process best describes; Select one: a. Fitness within species b. Bottleneck effect c. Macroevolution d. Microevolution e. Speciationarrow_forwardIdentify the most accurate statement about population variation. a. Allopolyploidy occurs when chromosomes fail to separate during gametogenesis and then self-fertilization results in a tetraploid offspring. b. Chromosomal duplications and deletions cause large changes due to the changes in gene dosage. c. Traits that are influenced by both environment and genetics are unlikely to be influenced by evolution. d. Gene duplications and deletions occur frequently during equal crossing over that occurs during meiosis I.arrow_forward

A. rapid development B. low parental investment C. high reproductive rates D. short life spans E. late maturationarrow_forwardWhich of the following traits is more associated with an Opportunistic (Equilibrial) species? Which of the following traits is more associated with an Opportunistic (Equilibrial) species? A. Short maturation time B. Producing offspring at many different times over the course of life C. Producing a lot of eggs at one time D. High juvenile mortality E. High level of parental carearrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true for the speciation of finches in the Galapagos islands? A. Natural selection acted on beak shape, and resulted in different beak morphologies for different food sources. B. Assortative mating reinforced existing divergence between birds. C. Speciation of finches started by birds starting to specialize on different food sources. D. Speciation of finches on the same island is due to allopatric speciation.arrow_forward
- A population of lizards colonizes a region and feeds on small arthropod species. Over time, a small group within the population starts eating different types of worms. Over time, this group develops inherited traits that help them catch, eat, and digest the worms. The two lizard groups share the same habitat but no longer recognize each other’s mating calls. What does this scenario best describe? A. speciation without geographic isolation B. natural selection without speciation C. increased genetic variation without speciation D. decreased genetic variation with geographic isolationarrow_forwardA sudden increase in gene flow between two somewhat isolated populations would most likely Group of answer choices a. have no effect on the chance of speciation b. decrease the genetic similarity between the two populations c. increase the chance of speciation d. increase the genetic divergence between the two populations e. decrease the chance of speciationarrow_forwardA. What kind of speciation do we normally associate with members from one population being geographically displaced to a new, smaller population? Geospiza scandens B. What kind of speciation do we normally associate with members of a population that become ecologically, genetically or behaviorally distinct within that population such that they become reproductively isolated?arrow_forward
- Both a beetle and a lobster are arthropods, a monophyletic group of animals that have an exoskeleton with jointed appendages. Both the lobster and the beetle have antennae, modified legs that serve as sensory structures. Antennae were also found in the common ancestor of beetles and lobsters. This is an example of…. Group of answer choices A. allopatric speciation B. intrasexual selection C. intersexual selection D. convergence E. homologyarrow_forwardWhich of the following is an example of postzygotic reproductive isolation?a. Sperm of species A dies in the oviduct of species B before fertilization can take place.b. Hybrid zygotes between species A and B are spontaneously aborted early indevelopment.c. The mating seasons of species A and B do not overlap.d. Males of species A are not attracted to the pheromones produced by the females ofspecies B.arrow_forwardMany species of birds choose their mates based on how brightly colored they are. If feather color is heritable, how would this violate the assumptions required for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equillibrium? HW equilibrium would cause mutations in such a species. A. This is a founder effect В. This is a bottleneck effect C. OD. Mating is non-random. Alleles for brightly colored phenotypes might become more common in the species and allele frequency would change.arrow_forward
