Speciation and Patterns of Evolution Quiz Review

What is a species?

• A group of organisms that can mate with each other and produce fertile offspring. 
• A group of organisms that genetically are very different from each other. 
• A group of organisms that can mate and produce offspring even if those offspring are infertile.
• Indivual organisms that live in the same environment. 

The flowers of pink tulips open in the morning, while the flowers of lavender tulips open in the early afternoon. The bees that pollinate these tulips cannot carry pollen back & forth between the two types of tulips because of their flowers being closed at different times of day. What type of reproductive barrier is this?

• behavioral isolation
• hybrid sterility 
• temporal isolation
• mechanical isolation 

Different mating behaviors

• temporal
• behavioral
• geographic
• other
