Which of the following reproductive isolating mechanisms is postzygotic?
habitat isolation
temporal isolation
hybrid sterility
behavioral isolation
The biological species concept is inadequate for grouping:
plants
parasites
asexual organisms
endemic populations
The formation of a land bridge between North and South America about three million years ago should have resulted in which of the following?
allopatric speciation
sympatric speciation
In some snail species, the direction of shell coiling is controlled by a single (maternal effect) gene. Left-coiling snails cannot mate with right-coiling snails. Such mutations could quickly lead to further differentiation and, possibly, speciation.
This is an example of _________isolation
gametic
mechanic
behavioral
temporal
The Giant Red Urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) and the Purple Urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) cohabit the rocky intertidal along the western U.S., but do not interbreed. Their gametes do not recognize one another, maintaining species integrity. This is and example of __________isolation
temporal
gametic
mechanic
behavioral
habitat
