1. Sea urchins are broadcast spawners that release clouds of sperm/eggs into the water column. However, the
ability to successfully fertilize the egg by the sperm is restricted to very specific gametic proteins that inhibit
cross species fertilization. This is an example of a

- Which of the following are post-zygotic reproductive barriers?a. Different mating songs prevent mate recognitionb. Species A breeds in Spring, Species B breeds in summerc. Species A and B mate, but the embryos die before hatchingd. The gametes of species A aren’t compatible with the gametes of species Be. Species A and B can mate and produce healthy offspring, but the offspring are infertilearrow_forwardIn dioecious plants, males usually produce larger flowers that attract more pollinators than do females. This is an example of a. character displacement b. sexual selection through female choice c. sexual selection through male-male competition d. divergence in resource use e. a cost of reproductionarrow_forwardA. In terms of the barriers in place that keep species separate, explain whether song recognition is a prezygotic barrier or a post-zygotic barrier. B. Explain which type of isolating mechanism this wouldbe once you determine the barrier type. C. Discuss why song would be a barrier to mating with another species and having the incorrect song might change your fitness potential.arrow_forward

- Which of the following situations has revealed that mutualistic interactions can evolve from prior parasitic relationships? A. Yucca plants are pollinated only by moths of the genus Tegeticula; however, some of the moth species 'cheat" by laying eggs on seeds without pollinating the plant. B. Large-sized lice of the genus Columbicola tended to live on larger species of pigeons. Body size matching had a significant effect on the ability of lice to escape defensive preening by the host bird. C. The nonvenomous yellow-eyed salamander has the same coloration as the toxic California newt. Related nontoxic salamanders which do not mimic the newts are prone to attacks by predators. D. Glochidion trees and Epicephala moths are in an obligate mutualism with each other. Significant cospeciation led to an increase in diversity of the two species.arrow_forwardFruit scientists are trying to determine the role of the pectinase (p) gene in a plant’s ability to tolerate cold conditions.

Which of the following statements best describes the evolutionary concept illustrated by this example? A. Homozygous genotypes increase fitness in a population. B. Hybrid plants are known to have a disadvantage over homozygous genotypes. C. Natural selection selects against the recessive gene and for the dominant gene. D. Certain phenotypic variations can significantly increase fitness of the organism in particular environments.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would be an appropriate hypothesis for an experiment? a.Sea urchins fertilization rate drops as carbon dioxide concentrations rise. b.Sea urchins living in kelp forests have higher fertilization rates than those living on rocks in intertidal areas. c.Sea urchin species spawning near other echinoderm species have lower fertilization rates. d.The concentration of phthalates in sea water reduces sea urchin fertilization rates. e.Sea urchins living in depths up to 10 meters have higher fertilization rates.arrow_forward

Post-zygotic barriersarrow_forwardThe gene for pea pod colour has two alleles. The dominant allele, G, is associated with the dominant trait of green pea pod colour. The recessive allele, g, is associated with the recessive trait of yellow pea pod colour. For many years, there has been a large collection of pea plants with a mixture of yellow and green pea pod colours in a savannah. But there has been a recent infestation of wild rabbits with a preference for eating plants with yellow pea pods. Assume that at the start of the infestation, the alleles in the pea plant population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (a) What does it mean for the alleles in the pea plant population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? (b) What is expected to happen to the allele frequency of the g allele in the subsequent pea generations after the rabbits have been introduced? Explain your answer using terms from Darwinian evolution.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true? a. ) Almost all invasive species are plants. b. Invasive species multiply rapidly and may displace native species in a community. c. Invasive species have no predators or parasites in their new ecosystem d. All introduced species are invasive. e. In sexual reproduction, the offspring have the same combinations of genes as their parents. f. Sequential hermaphroditism occurs when an animal is one sex during one phase of its lifecycle and the opposite sex during another phasearrow_forward
