Question
Chapter 24, Problem 4TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The hybrid breakdown refers to the reproductive failure, in which, an organism may be viable and fertile but their following generations are born with reduced genetic viability and sometimes fatal genetic abnormalities.

(d)
Scientists believe that the yellow fern arose from hybridization with another fern
on the island. Create a diagram of this hybridization that tracks the origin of the
chromosome number in the yellow fern.
One of the earliest postzygotic barriers to arise is hybrid sterility. Two plants can be crossed, but the resulting seeds grow into sterile plants that cannot reproduce. Is this as important in plants as it is in animals (Hint: How many types of hybrid flowers and fruits are there, compared to hybrid animals)?
n the savannahs of the Amazon different species of the genus Ipomoea are pollinated by either bumblebees or hummingbirds; lavender flowered I. marabaensis and red flowered I. cavalcantei. Which of the follwing data would support the suggestion of natural interspecific hybridization with weak postzygotic isolation?
A.
magenta flowered hybrids found in the wild were infertile and bidirectionally crossing with parental species
B.
magenta flowered hybrids found in the wild were preferentially pollinated by introduced honeybees rather than parental pollinators
C.
In the laboratory, offspring resulting from crosses between I. cavalcantei, I. marabaensis showed a mixture of parental floral characteristics
D.
In the laboratory, offspring resulting from crosses between I. cavalcantei, I. marabaensis and magenta flowered hybrid plants were autotropic and showed hybrid viability
