Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9TYK
A botanist identifies a new species of plant that has 32 chromosomes. It grows in the same habitat with three similar species: species A (2n = 14), species B (2n = 16), and species C (2n = 18). Which of the following is a possible
- a. change in a key developmental gene that causes the plants to flower at different times
- b. autopolyploidy, perhaps due to a nondisjunction in the formation of gametes of species B
- c. allopolyploidy, a hybrid of species A and C
- d. Either answer b or c could account for the formation of this new plant species.

(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.
which statement is false?
1)In the context of the evolution of senescence, the aphorism "live fast and die young" means that organisms with a more risky behavior will have a shorter life span.
2)Allopatric speciation is a type of speciation process that takes place in different geographic locations.
Compare the forms of speciation that are slow to those that occur more rapidly. Make a list of the slow and fast forms. With regard to mechanisms of genetic change, what features do slow and rapid speciation have in common? What features are different?

- Explain the type of speciation (allopatric, parapatric, or sympatric) most likely to occur under each of the following conditions: A. A pregnant female rat is transported by an ocean liner to a new continent. B. A meadow containing several species of grasses is exposed to a pesticide that promotes nondisjunction. C. In a very large lake containing several species of fish, the water level gradually falls over the course of several years. Eventually, the large lake becomes subdivided into smaller lakes, some of which are connected by narrow streams.arrow_forwarda.

You determine that a certain gene, "SPN2" turns on and off at different times in the two different species. The difference in timing leads to a different body length between the two iguana species.
