Pre-mating barriers to reproduction often evolve relatively late in the process of speciation. Describe why post-mating reproductive barriers typically evolve before pre-mating barriers.
Over time, enough genetic variations can develop within a population to cause it to undergo speciation. Identify the various mechanisms that will prevent different species from being able to reproduce successfully. Which of these mechanisms is the most influential in keeping species sperate?
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.

- Explain into details the concept of speciation .arrow_forwardCan you answer all the parts to this diagram Species 1 and 2 are sister species from which you’ve cloned related genes. On the gene tree on the top of the next page, use labels to answer the following questions: (a) Label the node that represents a gene duplication with “D,” (b) Label the nodes that represent speciation events with “S,” (c) Pick a pair of genes that are paralogs and label them both “P.” (d) Pick a pair of genes that are orthologs and label them both “O.”arrow_forwardIs allopatric speciation more likely to occur on an island close to the mainland or on a more isolated island of the same size? Justify your prediction.arrow_forward
- IN AN ILLUSTRATIVE MANNER, DRAW EXAMPLES OF ORGANISMS OR INSTANCES WHEREIN REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATING MECHANISMS LEAD TO SPECIATION. IDENTIFY AT LEAST TWO (2) SPECIATION. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE EACH MECHANISM OF SPECIATION.arrow_forwardThe Forbes sea star and common sea star are broadcast spawners that are known to hybridize, yet they exist as separate, genetically distinct species (unique branches on the tree of life). One mechanism that may contribute to their uniqueness is prezygotic reproductive isolation, which is the incompatibility of gametes (sperm and eggs) from separate species. We know they hybridize, so the eggs and sperm are compatible, but could gametes from the different species be less compatible than the gametes from each individual species? Harper & Hart (2005) addressed this question in a series of cross-fertilization experiments. Did they find evidence that gametes ‘preferred’ to cross with gametes of the same species? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardTwo hundred years ago, the fly species Rhagoletis pomonella only laid its eggs on fruit of the hawthorn tree. Today, different "host races" of R. pomonella lay their eggs on hawthorns OR apples. Apples occur within the range of hawthorns, so divergence between apple flies and hawthorn flies could be the first step in sympatric speciation. Choose the evidence that would suggest that R. pomonella is currently undergoing sympatric speciation. Check ALL answers that apply. A. Apple flies and hawthorn flies are able to form fertile hybrids. B. Apple flies and hawthorn flies are physically indistinguishable from each other. C. Apple flies typically mate with apple flies, and hawthorn flies typically mate with hawthorn flies. D. Apple flies and hawthorn flies emerge from their hosts at different times of the year.arrow_forward
