Which term is used to describe the continued divergence of species based on the low fitness of hybrid offspring? reinforcement stability fusion punctuated equilibrium

reinforcement

What is the main difference between autopolyploid and allopolyploid? the source of the extra chromosomes the number of chromosomes the functionality of chromosomes the number of mutations in the extra chromosomes

the source of the extra chromosomes

Which reproductive combination produces hybrids? when members of closely related species reproduce when offspring of the same parents reproduce when individuals of the same species in different geographical areas reproduce when any two individuals sharing the same habitat reproduce

when members of closely related species reproduce

Which of the following situations will lead to natural selection? The seeds of two plants land near each other and one grows larger than the other. Two types of fish eat the same kind of food, and one is better able to gather food than the other. Male lions compete for the right to mate with females, with only one possible winner. all of the above

All of the above

Which description is an example of a phenotype? A certain duck has a blue beak. A mutation occurred to a flower. Most cheetahs live solitary lives. both a and c

Both a and c

Which situation would most likely lead to allopatric speciation? Flood causes the formation of a new lake. A storm causes several large trees to fall down. A mutation causes a new trait to develop. An injury causes an organism to seek out a new food source.

Flood causes the formation of a new lake

Which scientific concept did Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace independently discover? natural selection mutation overbreeding sexual reproduction

Natural selection

What is the main difference between dispersal and vicariance? One involves the movement of the organism, and the other involves a change in the environment. One leads to allopatric speciation, whereas the other leads to sympatric speciation. One depends on a genetic mutation occurring, and the other does not. One involves closely related organisms, and the other involves only individuals of the same species.

One involves the movement of the organism, and the other involves a change in the environment

Which components of speciation would be least likely to contribute to punctuated equilibrium? ongoing gene flow among all individuals population separation a change in environmental conditions a large number of mutations taking place at once

Ongoing gene flow among all individuals

Which situation is not an example of a prezygotic barrier? Two species of insects produce infertile offspring. Two species of birds display different mating dances. Two species of flowers attract different pollinators. Two species of turtles breed at different times of the year.

Two species of insects produce infertile offspring

Which situation is most likely an example of convergent evolution? Squid and humans have eyes similar in structure. Worms and snakes both move without legs. Some bats and birds have wings that allow them to fly. all of the above

all the above

Which condition is the basis for a species to be reproductively isolated from other groups? It does not exchange genetic information with other species. It does not undergo evolutionary changes for a significant period of time. It does not share its habitat with related species. It does not exist out of a single habitat.

it does not exchange genetic information with other species

Which variable increases the likelihood of allopatric speciation taking place? longer distance between divided groups lower rate of mutation increased instances of hybrid formation equivalent numbers of individuals in each population

longer distance between divided groups
