A, B, and C are three different island species and all share a common ancestor. Their ranges are shown in the diagram below. Note that A and B are on a separate island from species C. Species A and B are isolated from one another by a river. There are two populations of species C (C1 and C2) that are isolated from one another by a mountain range. C2 A Mountain В River Is the following statement consistent with the data presented in the diagram, above? Choose True for yes, the statement is consistent with the diagram. Choose False for no, the statement is not consistent with the diagram.

Choose True for yes and False for no, for each of the statements 1) The distribution of the two species-C populations cannot be explained by two totally independent dispersal events by the common ancestor species of A and B. True or false 2) B must share a more recent common ancestor with C1 than it does with C2. True or false
A researcher studying two species (species 1 and species 2) sequences a short stretch of eight codons from the same gene, gene B, in each and compares them. Species 1 and species 2 had a most recent common ancestor 50 million years ago. Species 1: ATC GGG CGG GAC TTA CTA TAT GCC Species 2: ATT GGG CGG GAC TTG CTA TAT GCC Given the differences between the sequences of the two species' genes shown here, what evolutionary force can you predict is most likely in operation on gene B?
Three species are endemic to a group of islands and are all descended from species 4, a large population mainland species (it has no post-founder new mutations). Species 4 is the sister taxa of species 5, which is frugivorous. Species 1 and 3 are insectivorous and species 2 and 4 are frugivorous. The gene sequence of a 10-nucleotide locus for these species are: Species 1: GCTGATGAGT Species 2: ATCAATGAGT Species 3: GTTGCAACGT Species 4: GTCAATGACA Would it matter if this locus was under selection or selectively neutral; why or why not?
Members of two different species possess a similar-looking structure that they use in a similar way to perform about the same function. Which of the following would suggest that the relationship more likely represents homology instead of convergent evolution? a. The two species share many proteins in common, and the nucleotide sequences that code for these proteins are almost identicalb. The two species live at great distance from each otherc. The structures in adult members of both species are similar in sized. Both species are well adapted to their respective environments
Part 1: Use this image to describe the relationship between H, F. and D, including how closely they are related to each other, and determine the most recent common ancestor for these species. Part 2: Using the above image, estimate how long ago the common ancestor for H, F, and D lived. Part 3: Of species H, F, and D, which have gone extinct without producing any evolutionary descendants?

Swordtails, platyfish and Poecilia species are incapable of interbreeding with each other but swordtail species 1 can produce viable hybrids with swordtail species 2. In addition, both Poecilla fish, platyfish, and swordtails can all be distinguished genetically, but swortail species 1 and 2 cannot be genetically distinguished. Using this information indicate how many distinct 1) Biological, 2) morphological, and 3) phylogenetic species would be found in this group of fish. If you cannot determine this for any of the 3 species categories, state what you would need to know in order to do so. Edit View Insert Format Tools Table 12pt v Paragraph v BIUAv er Tv: 1.

Consider two species that diverged whilegeographically separated but resumed contactbefore reproduction isolation was complete. Predictwhat would happen over time if two species matedindiscriminately and a. hybrid offspring survived and reproducedmore poorly than offspring from intraspecificmating or b. hybrid offspring survived and reproduced aswell as offspring from intraspecific mating.Provide an example for each to illustrate yourpoint.

Species A and B have long wings, whereas species C has short wings. Which of the following pieces of evidence would best support the hypothesis that long wings are a synapomorphy? A. DNA evidence showing that species B and C are sister species B. Fossil evidence showing that the common ancestor of species A, B, and C had short wings C. DNA evidence showing that species A and C are sister species D. Fossil evidence showing that the common ancestor of species A, B, and C had long wings E. Evidence showing that species A and B live in an environment that favors long wings, whereas species C lives in an environment that favors short wings
Species A was recently discovered and its DNA sequence was compared to the DNA of the four previously known species from the same genus. The comparison revealed this particular species is the most recent one, the one that diverged last. Show the mismatched nucleotides between these DNA sequences (mark them and count them) and then draw a phylogenetic tree that shows their relationship. You can draw the tree by hand.Species A 5’ A A G G C C A A A C T T T G G G T A T A G C A T A 3’Species B 5’ A A G G C C A A A C C G T G G G T A T A G C G A A 3’ ____________Species C 5’ A A G G C C A A A C T T T G G G T A T A G C G A A 3’ ____________Species D 5’ A A C T C C A A A C C G T G G G T A T A G C G A A 3’ ____________Species E5’ A A G G C C A A A C T T T G G G T A T A G C G T A 3’ __________
