6D and E Review

What is adaptive radiation?

• Adaptive radiation is the process of species becoming more similar over time.
• Adaptive radiation is the rapid evolution of diversely adapted species from a common ancestor.
• Adaptive radiation refers to the extinction of species due to environmental changes.
• Adaptive radiation is the slow evolution of similar species in isolation.

Darwin's finches are an example of adaptive radiation. The finches on the main island did not see speciation while the smaller island did. What would cause this to be possible?

• Lack of food sources on the main island.
• Similar environmental conditions on both islands.
• High population density on the main island.
• Different environmental pressures and isolation on the smaller island led to less competition.

If two populations are separated by a physical barrier, will they be able to reproduce after year pass and mutations accumulate in the populations?

• They will reproduce only if they are the same species.
• Mutations will enhance their ability to reproduce.
• No, they may not be able to reproduce after mutations accumulate because they are too different genetically.

• Yes, they will always be able to reproduce.

What does not occur between two populations in order for speciation to occur?

• Gene flow does not occur between the populations.

• Natural selection occurs between the populations.
• Hybridization occurs between the populations.
• Isolation doesn't between the populations.

Which of the following explains the difference between divergent and convergent evolution?

• Divergent evolution leads to the extinction of species, whereas convergent evolution promotes biodiversity.
• Divergent evolution is the process where related species evolve different traits, while convergent evolution is when unrelated species evolve similar traits.
• Divergent evolution occurs only in plants, while convergent evolution occurs only in animals.
• Divergent evolution is when species adapt to the same environment, while convergent evolution is when they adapt to different environments.

• decreased
• increased
• less
• after
• more
• before

How does a founder effect event affect the population size?

• The founder effect increases the population size.
• The founder effect stabilizes the population size.
• The founder effect has no impact on population size.
• The founder effect typically decreases the population size.

If a founder effect is random, are these the only possible new populations? Why?

• No, the founder effect only affects existing populations.
• Yes, the founder effect only creates one new population.
• No, there can be many possible new populations due to the randomness of the founder effect.
• Yes, all new populations must be identical to the original.
