What are characteristics of sympatric speciation? Select all that apply.
Reproductive isolation necessary to end gene flow
Divergence within a population leads to speciation
Absence of a physical barrier
Presence of a physical barrier
Reproductive isolation unnecessary to end gene flow
The phyletic gradualism model of speciation asserts that;
Most speciation occurs allopatrically
Speciation is a slow and gradual process that occurs as species slowly become geographically
separated
speciation occurs in quickly and then is followed by periods with little if any change
Most speciation occurs sympatrially
Speciation events can occur on a variety of timescales. Which factor is NOT likely to influence the
rate of speciation?
Selection pressures
Color of the organism
Generation time
Mutation rate

O Species A forms hybrids with species B and the hybrids are able to breed back with either of the two parent species to produce healthy fertile offspring. O Two closely related birds, the lazuli bunting and indigo bunting, sing similar songs to attract mates and even though human ears can not distinguish them the females never make wrong choices in choosing who to mate with. O Two species of turtles living in a large lake have different ecological requirements and never interact. O Several species of corrals in a Honduras corral reef release gametes about the same time but inter- specific attraction of gametes does not occur.
