Chapter 54.1, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Figure 24.14 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.

- The approximately 600 species of cichlids in East Africa’s Lake Victoria have largely resulted from sympatric speciation. 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_forwardA small number of lizards from a mainland population have been deposited on four isolated islands because of the effects of a rare strong storm. Which of the following best predicts the outcome of these lizards reproducing for many generations on the islands? * The isolation prevents gene flow; thus, the lizards on different islands experience prezygotic isolation. The different species that currently exist are the result of hybridization between lizards from different islands. Speciation results from bottleneck events that happened before the ancestral species reached the islands. Courtship rituals specific to each island lizard species prevent the lizards from interbreeding.arrow_forwardImagine there's a species of flower that blooms in early April. Some seeds are blown over a mountain and the offspring of those seeds start a new population on the other side. After several million years the mountain erodes and the two flower populations are reintroduced to each other. The population that lived on the far side of the mountain flowers in early May, while the other still flowers in early April. The two populations never hybridize, and become their own species. This is an example of: Gametic Barrier Temporal Isolation O Habitat Isolation O Behavioral Isolation 1.arrow_forward
- Try to outline a scenario explaining the evolution of the three species shown in panel g. Use migration, mutation, genetic drift, selection, reproductive isolation, gene flow, extinction, and many generations in your scenario. Based on your scenario, what are the components that are necessary in a population in order for it to split or diverge into two new daughter species from a single ancestor (the parent species)?arrow_forwardDescribe two mechanisms that can decrease gene flowin sympatric populations, thereby making sympatricspeciation more likely to occur.arrow_forwardThe blue mussel appears to reach a maximum shell length, suggesting that they were eaten by California mussels. The California mussel colonizes the patch later but within a few months have grown to a larger size than blue mussels. O The two species colonize the patch at the same time. The two species grow at the same rate initially, but then diverge. O The two species reach sexual maturity at the same age.arrow_forward
- sarrow_forwardAn event occurs where a large population of photosynthetic sun-basking sharks move to a new geographical location, and are unable to return. In their new location, they must rely much more on consuming fish for nutrients, as there are less available places to bask/rest, and higher risk for hunting if they remain at the surface for long periods of time. What type of prezygotic isolating mechanism occurred? In 100 years, how do you think the relocated sharks will differ physically from the original population? Give at least 2 features and explain why you think so.arrow_forwardWhich of the following forms of reproductive isolation illustrates a prezygotic barrier to gene flow? 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. O All but one of these illustrates a type of prezygotic barrier to gene flow.arrow_forward
