Chapter 41.1, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Figure 22.13 illustrates how a hybrid zone can change over time. Imagine that two finch species colonize a new island and are capable of hybridizing (mating and producing viable offspring). The island contains two plant species, one with large seeds and one with small seeds, growing in isolated habitats. If the two finch species specialize in eating different plant species, would reproductive barriers be reinforced, weakened, or unchanged in this hybrid zone? Explain.

Decide whether each of the following scenarios would lead to prezygotic or postzygotic reproductive
isolation:

- Hello! I need help. Thanks! I'm pretty sure there's more than 1 correct answer.arrow_forwardWhich of these is an example of a key innovation? A caterpillar of a butterfly species provides honey to an ant colony in order to receive protection and care. A founding population of honeycreepers evolves beaks capable of cracking the seed of a tree species in their new habitat. A new flower color morph arises in a plant population, but an associated pollinator does not distinguish flowers by color. Co-occurring diploid species of wheat and goatgrass hybridize to form a viable tetraploid offspring that can no longer breed with its parents.arrow_forwardDistinct species that are able to interbreed in nature are said to “hybridize,” and their offspring are called “hybrids.” The gray oak and the Gambel oak can mate to produce fertile hybrids in regions where they co-occur. However, the gene flow in nature is sufficiently limited that, overall, the two species remain phenotypically distinct. If the hybrid offspring survive well and reproduce to the extent that there is a large population of hybrid individuals that breed between themselves but do not interbreed with either of the two original parent species (the gray and the Gambel), which of the following would you say most likely led to the new hybrid species?(a) prezygotic reproductive barriers (b) sympatric speciation (c) allopatric speciation (d) postzygotic reproductive barriers (e) none of the abovearrow_forward

The closely related cichlids species P. pundamilia and P. nyererei are thought to have arisen by sexual selection. Mate choice by females strongly favors males of their own species that have different body colors. In recent years, pollution has caused the water of Lake Victoria to become turbid in some areas. Hybrids of P. pundamilia and P. nyererei were produced and the gene pools of the two species have started to fuse, creating a new hybrid species. In this process, what are the conditions that led to the fusion of P. pundamilia and P. nyererei? A. Only the prezygotic reproductive barrier is not complete for the two species. B. Only the postzygotic reproductive barrier is not complete for the two species. C. Both the prezygotic and the postzygotic reproductive barriers are complete for the two species. D. Both the prezygotic and the postzygotic reproductive…arrow_forward
- please helparrow_forwardImagine there's a population of Cichlid fish living in a lake in East Africa. Some of the fish have a genetic predisposition to feed from the deeper parts of the lake and also enjoy breeding down there, while the other fish have a genetic predisposition to feed near the surface and enjoy breeding up there. Eventually, individuals from the upper parts of the lake stop breeding with individuals from the bottom because their hybrid offspring have poor fitness (and can't competitively feed at the top or bottom of the lake). These two sub-populations will likely experience and possibly evolve into two species. Genetic Drift Post-zygotic Isolation Directional Selection O Disruptive Selectionarrow_forward2) In a particular island, the environment is semi-arid. There is a lizard population with a lot of variation for color. Normally, the light sandy color and golden colored lizard flourished because they escaped predation, while others were barely surviving. However, in recent years, a lot of rain has brought about a lot of vegetation. Which variation of lizard will now flourish in the area? * A) white B) Brown C) Green D) Redarrow_forward
- Based on the biological species concept, which of the following would lead biologists to conclude that different populations of lizards were actually a single species rather than two different species? A.) lizards from the two different populations mate rarely, and produce hyrbid offspring that are sterile B.) Lizards from the two differnt populations mate during different seasons C.) Lizards from the two different populations mate regularly and produce sterile offspring D.) Lizards from the two different populations matre regularly and produce viable offspring capable of reprodarrow_forwardA population of interbreeding birds has been split by a geological event after which the isolated part of the population started to evolve into an incipient species with different mating rituals. Due to a recent environmental change the two populations are now able to potentially mate again in what is called a hybrid zone. Mating does take place every now and then but the hybrid offspring appear less able to survive. As a consequence, mating rituals start to diverge even further. We call this process of continued divergence? O Fusion O Behavioral isolation Reinforcement O Postzygotic isolation O Stabilityarrow_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
