1.

Changes in the allele frequency in a population over time

a)

Microevolution

b)

Macroevolution

c)

Speciation

d)

Hybridization

2.

Biological factors (barriers) that impede two species from producing viable, fertile offspring

a)

Macroevolution

b)

Reproductive Isolation

c)

Hybridization

d)

Gene flow

3.

The biological species concept states that:

a)

a species is a group of communities whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce non-viable, infertile offspring; they breed successfully with members of other populations

b)

a species is a group of populations whose members have no chance to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring; they breed successfully with members of other populations

c)

a species is a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring; they do not breed successfully with members of other populations

d)

a species is a group of populations whose members have no chance to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring; they do not breed successfully with members of other populations

4.

Offspring that are crosses between different species are:

a)

Just as cute as offspring of the same species

b)

Impossible, as organisms of different species cannot mate

c)

Cross-zygotic

d)

Hybrids

5.

Prezygotic barriers:

a)

Block fertilization from occurring

b)

Always prevent mating from occurring

c)

Are never successful

d)

Include reduced hybrid fertility

6.

Postzygotic means:

a)

The sperm was able to fertilize the egg

b)

It happened after the Zygotic Era on Earth

c)

Mating was unable to take place

d)

A new species has been created

7.

When species that breed at different times of the day, different seasons, or different years cannot mix their gametes is an example of:

a)

Behavioral isolation

b)

Mechanical isolation

c)

Gametic isolation

d)

Temporal isolation

8.

When sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize eggs of another species, it is an example of:

a)

Temporal isolation

b)

Gametic isolation

c)

Reduced hybrid fertility

d)

Hybrid breakdown

9.

When hybrid offspring are sterile, such as a mule, is an example of:

a)

Reduced hybrid fertility

b)

Hybrid breakdown

c)

A prezygotic barrier

d)

Reduced hybrid viability

10.

When gene flow is interrupted or reduced when a population is divided into isolated subpopulations it is called:

a)

Sympatric speciation

b)

Allopatric speciation

c)

Patrick speciation

d)

Hybrid speciation

11.

The origin of a new species is called:

a)

Natural Selection

b)

Hybridization

c)

Speciation

d)

Genetic Newation

12.

Speciation that takes place when organisms are isolated from each other is:

a)

Allopatric

b)

Impossible

c)

Polyploidy

d)

Sympatric

13.

The presence of extra sets of chromosomes due to accidents during cell division is:

a)

Sympatric speciation

b)

Allopatric speciation

c)

Polyploidy

d)

More common in animals than in plants

14.

The time it takes for a new species to evolve is about 65 years.

a)

True

b)

False
