- Assume you are studying development in two species of iguana. You determine that a certain gene, "SPN2" turns on and off at different times in the two different species. The difference in timing leads to a different body length between the two iguana species. This phenomenon is an example of which of the following terms? a. Punctuated Equilibrium b. Pleiotropy c.

In a phylogenetic or evolutionary tree, how is relatedness defined, i.e., what is used to determine relatedness?arrow_forwardThe biological species concept is based on the assumption that species are reproductively isolated and do not share genes. And yet a number of organisms that are considered different species hybridize (mate and exchange genes). Hybridization between different species is more common in plants than in animals. Propose some possible reasons for this difference.arrow_forward
