WHAT IF? Ø Suppose two bird species live in a forest and are not known to interbreed. One species feeds and mates in the treetops and the other on the ground. But in captivity, the birds can interbreed and produce viable, fertile offspring. What type of reproductive barrier most likely keeps these species separate in nature? Explain.

Q2.16. When heavily armored marine sticklebacks have invaded freshwater lakes where there are no predatory fish, their populations have evolved lighter body armor. Given what you've learned about evolution, which of the following explanations for why this happens is most plausible? O Young sticklebacks only grow heavy armor when they see predatory fish in their environment. O When sticklebacks don't use their armor, it shrinks. Then they pass lighter armor to their offspring. Concentrated pollutants in freshwater lakes disrupt the sticklebacks' ability to grow armor. O Heavily armored fish grow more slowly and breed later, making armor disadvantageous in these lakes.
Select all that apply. Beetles from two geographically isolated populations are captured and brought to the lab. When an adult male from one population and an adult female from the other population are placed together, they mate, and the female lay eggs a couple of days later. The eggs hatch, the beetles develop into adults but are sterile. Which of the following are true? This is an example of post-zygotic reproductive isolation. O Sexual selection is likely responsible. O This is an example of pre-zygotic reproductive isolation. O Dobzhansky-Muller genetic incompatibility is likely responsible. Question 3 Choose all that apply. Which of the following are true of adaptive radiations? OAdaptive radiations involve relatively rapid speciation. The evolution of the Hawaiian silverswords is an example of an adaptive radiation. OAdaptive radiations can occur when an ancestral species colonizes a new arca and adapts to multiple open niches. Question 4 What are the three major steps of…
