Peripatric speciation is a subgroup of which of the following types of speciation?
What is required for sympatric speciation to occur?
Which of the following is false of sympatric populations?
Which of the following best defines sympatric speciation?
Which is not an example of behavioral isolation?
Which of the following is a NOT potential outcome from a speciation hybrid zone?
A researcher has discovered two species of frogs that live in the same location. In the lab he is able to generate a viable hybrid by combining gametes from each species, however, no such hybrids exist in the wild. Which of the following methods of reproductive isolation might explain this phenomenon?
Which of the following describes how parapatric speciation differs from peripatric speciation?
One species of organisms living in the same valley begin to diverge from each other over time and eventually two distinct species emerge that no longer mate with members of the other group. What type of speciation is this?
There was once a population on planet M311, called the Freg, who lived on a planet not unlike Earth. At the height of the Fregs technology and evolution, a collection of asteroids bombarded the planet and the devastation was so great that the planet was split in two, as was the Freg population. Much of the Freg population died, but many still survived on both pieces of M311.
As time progressed following the catastrophe, the genetic structure of the Freg populations began to differ from each other since they were no longer reproducing with each other. What is this process called?
