All of the following scenarios are examples of barriers that distinguish separate species. Which is not a post-zygotic barrier? Two species of ladybugs live in the same habitat. Although they mate at the same time of year, their genitals are physically incompatible. Two species of fish inhabit the same stream. They are capable of mating and producing healthy offspring. The offspring, however, are infertile. and 2 Two species of opossums inhabit the same forest. Although they are capable of mating, no offspring ever survive development. hschool 3, Two species of mice coexist in a forest habitat. They are capable of mating and producing offspring. The offspring, however, are frail and die young. When Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, he observed the marine iguana. He later decided that the marine iguana evolved from the terrestrial iguana found on the mainland of South America. The marine iguana differs from the terrestrial iguana in several ways. The marine iguana has a flat…
All of the following scenarios are examples of barriers that distinguish separate species. Which is not a post-zygotic barrier? * Two species of ladybugs live in the same habitat. Although they mate at the same time of year, their genitals are physically incompatible. Two species of fish inhabit the same stream. They are capable of mating and producing healthy offspring. The offspring, however, are infertile. Two species of opossums inhabit the same forest. Although they are capable of mating, no offspring ever survive development.

Of the following, which is an example of a postzygotic barrier? O Due to incompatible interactions between inherited genes, a hybrid fetus is unable to develop, and is aborted. O One species mates in spring, while another mates in summer. O A female spider of one species does not respond to the mating display of a male of a closely related species. O Cell surface proteins of one species eggs prevent sperm from another species attaching, so the sperm cannot fertilize it.
A. In terms of the barriers in place that keep species separate, explain whether song recognition is a prezygotic barrier or a post-zygotic barrier. B. Explain which type of isolating mechanism this wouldbe once you determine the barrier type. C. Discuss why song would be a barrier to mating with another species and having the incorrect song might change your fitness potential.
With your knowledge of sexual selection theory, can you formulate a hypothesis that explains why female courtship might have evolved in this species? Is there anything about pipefish biology that might support your hypothesis?
You are studying two variations of banana slugs. They have similar coloration and live in the same habitat. Although they are physically able to mate, there are no offspring that survive embryologic development. What can you conclude about the banana slugs? * O Pre-zygotic barriers have forced them to be separate species. They are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. O Microevolution is occurring in both variations. O They are two separate species.
We learned from hermaphroditic snails in New Zealand and C. elegans that populations that are undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction in the same population can alter the frequency of outcrossing resulting in changes in genetic diversity. Identify the statement that accurately reflects a real result. a. Sexual reproduction prevents the ability of snails and worms to coevolve with their parasites. b. Sexual reproduction frequency increases in the presence of a stressor, like pathogens and parasites. c. Asexual reproduction is favored when there are pathogens and parasites in the environment. d. Asexual reproduction enables the Red Queen hypothesis to play out and enable the pathogen to win.
A- the two nematode populations have undergone complete speciation B- individuals reared on different bacteria produce offspring that have a better chance of survival C- The populations appear to be most likely in the process of speciation D- all individuals were equally reproductively successful regardless of mate combination
Identify each of the following reproductive barriers as prezygotic or postzygotic. a. One lilac species lives on acidic soil, another on basic soil. b. Mallard and pintail ducks mate at different times of the year. c. Two species of leopard frogs have different mating calls. d. Hybrid offspring of two species of jimsonweed always die before reproducing. e. Pollen of one kind of pine tree cannot fertilize another kind.

What can you conclude about the banana slugs? * Pre-zygotic barriers have forced them to be separate species. They are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Microevolution is occurring in both variations. They are two separate species. Two species of toads are reproductively isolated due to the fact that one species mates in early summer and one in late summer. Both species of toads evolved from a common ancestor. What type of speciation occurred?* OAllopatric
A scientist for one of the Water Management Districts near Victoria conducts a study of the effects of industrial wastewater on marine clams (animals that are sessile as adults) by comparing the density and reproductive condition of clams collected within 100 m of a discharge pipe with those collected 10 km away. He found very low densities of clams near the pipe and those that were there had very small gonads. You have been hired by the company discharging wastewater via this pipe to explain why these data should not be used to shut you down. What scientific arguments are you going to make to the review board? Hint: don’t talk about study design issues….tell me about what other ecological factors might be at play here.
