Students have asked these similar questions
Clausen and colleagues proposed two hypotheses to explain this variation within a species: (1) There are genetic differences between populations of plants found at different elevations. (2) The species has developmental flexibility and can assume tall or short growth forms, depending on local abiotic factors. If you had seeds from yarrow plants found at low and high elevations, what experiments would you perform to test these hypotheses?
Select the three experiments.
What data would suggest that a species evolutionary history includes sexual selection as a mechanism that helped shape the species?
If males and females are significantly different from each other (sexual dimporphism)
If males and females form different social groups (i.e. herds are formed from either males or females but not both)
If some males reproduce with multiple females while other males do not reproduce
If males engage in "risky" behavior
Aloes vs. Agaves
Describe 3 general similarities (analogous structures) you observed between Aloes & Agaves.
Now, identify a specific example -- 1 Aloe species and 1 Agave species -- that look especially similar. List their names and clearly describe how they are alike.
What environmental pressures likely drove the development of these similar traits? Explain.
Now, what makes these two families different? Fill in the table below based on the lab’s video lecture or your personal observations:
Geographic origin
Flowers (stalk length, color)
# of reproductive events
Leaf characteristics
Aloes
Agaves

Individual plants of population "A" grow to an average height of 25 cm, while those of population "B" average 40 cm. The flowers of population "A" are light purple and open in mid-April, while those of population "B" are dark purple with white spots and open in early May. These 2 populations are geographically separated by a large river, and geological and molecular genetic evidence suggests that they have been separated for at least 10 million years, during which time evolutionary divergence has occured. Yet, when individuals from each population are brought into the lab, they readily mate with individuals of the other population. Under which species concept(s) would the plants of the 2 populations be considered the SAME species? O A. Biological species concept O B. Phenetic species concept O C.
