mutations

macroevolution

Evolutionary change above the species level is referred to as
________, whereas evolutionary changes below the species level is
known as _______.

microevolution

(Examples of reproductive isolation)
Which of the following would result in reproductive isolation?
A. two populations of crickets are indistinguishable in physical
features, but the females in each group only come to the different
songs of their males.
B. fruit flies on one Hawaiian island live
for hundreds of generations and do not come in contact with fruit
flies on another island except when blown there by rare tropical
storms
C. one brood of the 17th-year cicada emerged in 1987 (and
will do so every 17 yrs) and lives a few months as adults, another
brood emerged in 1992 ( and will do so every 17 yrs); the larvae of
both feed side by side on tree roots
D. a lion and a tiger mate
in the artificial confines of a zoo but the offspring is infertile
E. all of the choices are correct
E
(Disadvantage of the evolutionary species concept)
A major disadvantage of the evolutionary species concept is that it
A. relies primarily on reproductive isolation to identify
species
B. applies to both sexually & asexually reproducing
species
C. uses morphological traits to distinguish
species
D. is the same as the classic biological species concept
C
(Adaptive radiation)
Several species of Caribbean Anoline lizards have evolved from a
single ancestral species. The species occupy a wide variety of
ecological niches, such as tree trunks and the ground, or tree trunks
only, or tree trunks and the crown of trees, etc. This type of
allopatric speciation is called
A. adaptive radiation
B. alloploidy
C. autoploidy
D. hybridization
A
(Convergent evolution vs. coevolution)

unrelated species while ______ is when a species evolves in response
to another species.
A. convergent evolution, coevolution
B. coevolution,
convergent evolution
C. sympatric speciation, coevolution
D.
allopatric speciation, convergent evolution
A
(Isolating mechanisms)
Isolating mechanisms that prevent reproductive attempts or make it unlikely that reproductive attempts will be successful are referred to as
A. prezygotic reproductive isolating mechanisms
B. a lack of
F2 fitness
C. postzygotic isolating mechanisms
D. two of
these are correct
E. none of the answer choices are correct
A

Mules are an example of
A. hybrid infertility
B. temporal isolation
C.
gametic isolation
D. zygote mortality

stigma prevents formation of the pollen tubes. This is an example of
A. tempora isolation
B. behavioral isolation
C.
gametic isolation
D. mechanical isolation
C
(When one species splits into two)
______ is when one species splits into two of when one species transforms into another over time.
