Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Question

Define each in two short sentences
1. Allopatric speciation
2. Sympatric speciation
3. Adaptive radiation
4. Convergent evolution
5. Analogous
6. Homologous

Definition Definition Process by which new species arise. This occurs when populations of a species become isolated and diverge, developing unique traits through natural selection, genetic drift, or other mechanisms. Over time, these differences accumulate until the populations can no longer interbreed and are considered separate species.

Indicate the order in which the following steps would take place to result in Allopatric Speciation [enter 1 for the first step, 2 for the second, etc; write only the number -- no words, no spaces] The two groups develop reproductive isolating mechanisms so that they no longer interbreed. Interbreeding populations connected via gene flow occur across a range. The two separate groups adapt to their new environments. Some sort of physical barrier develops to split the once contiguous population(s) into two separate groups If they come back together, any hybrids formed are less fit.
Macroevolution deals with the evolution of new species that takes place over long periods of time (many generations). True O False

With improving technology, acquiring DNAsequences from different organisms becomeseasier each year. With that in mind, some authors(e.g., Scotland et al. 2003, Systematic Biology52 [4]: 539–548) have suggested that the use ofmorphological data is less important than DNAsequence data and have called for less emphasison the use of comparative morphology in building phylogenies. Other authors maintain thatdespite the explosion of molecular data available, morphology still has an important role inphylogenetics (for examples, see Wiens 2004,Systematic Biology 53 [4]: 653–661 and Will andRubinoff 2004, Cladistics 20 [1]: 47–55). Whatare the reasons for and against using morphological data in phylogenetic reconstruction?When might morphological data be especiallyimportant?
For which of these groups is the biological species concept not useful for determining species? Mark all that apply.

Consider two species that diverged whilegeographically separated but resumed contactbefore reproduction isolation was complete. Predictwhat would happen over time if two species matedindiscriminately and a. hybrid offspring survived and reproducedmore poorly than offspring from intraspecificmating or b. hybrid offspring survived and reproduced aswell as offspring from intraspecific mating.Provide an example for each to illustrate yourpoint.
You are studying two variations of banana slugs. They have similar coloration and live in the same habitat. Although they are physically able to mate, there are no offspring that survive embryologic development. What can you conclude about the banana slugs? * O Pre-zygotic barriers have forced them to be separate species. They are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. O Microevolution is occurring in both variations. O They are two separate species.
