Mules are hybrids of donkeys and horses, and they are sterile. Which term correctly
describes this reproductive isolating mechanism between donkeys and horses?
Mechanical
Postzygotice
Prezygotic
Temporal
Behaviora
All of the following scenarios are examples of barriers that distinguish separate
species. Which is not a post-zygotic barrier?
Two species of ladybugs live in the same habitat. Although they mate at the same
time of year, their genitals are physically incompatible.
Two species of fish inhabit the same stream. They are capable of mating and
producing healthy offspring. The offspring, however, are infertile.
and 2
Two species of opossums inhabit the same forest. Although they are capable of
mating, no offspring ever survive development.

Two species of mice coexist in a forest habitat. They are capable of mating and
producing offspring. The offspring, however, are frail and die young.
When Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, he observed the marine
iguana. He later decided that the marine iguana evolved from the terrestrial
iguana found on the mainland of South America. The marine iguana differs from
the terrestrial iguana in several ways. The marine iguana has a flat…
Which of the following is not an example of a postzygotic barrier between different
species?
The hybrids created by interspecies crosses are usually infertile
Separate species typically do not mate since they have different mating displays
Often times the embryo created through an interspecies cross fails to develop and dies
The hybrids created through interspecies crosses are generally very unhealthy

Individuals of different species are physically compatible and can engage in sex Hybrid individuals cannot produce offspring Hybrid individuals or their offspring have similar fitness to the original species Reproduction occurs at different times Mating occurs but fertilization does not occurarrow_forwardOf the following, which is an example of a postzygotic barrier? O Due to incompatible interactions between inherited genes, a hybrid fetus is unable to develop, and is aborted. O One species mates in spring, while another mates in summer. O A female spider of one species does not respond to the mating display of a male of a closely related species. O Cell surface proteins of one species eggs prevent sperm from another species attaching, so the sperm cannot fertilize it.arrow_forwardWhich of the following IS TRUE about sexual dimorphism (choose all that apply)?

Which one of the following scenarios is LEAST likely to result in a polygynous mating system? Male stalk-eyed flies form leks where receptive females come visit Male Neotropical giant damselfly defend water-filled tree holes, which are the oviposition sites for females. Suitable tree holes for oviposition are rare and females must mate with the resident male in exchange for access to the oviposition sites. Male Bengal tigers defend large territories that contain food sources. Female Bengal tigers visit male territories to mate. The density of the Bengal tiger is extremely low that male tigers rarely encounter more than one female in their lifetime. In the bumblebee-wolf Philanthus bicinctus, females are unreceptive until they finish constructing the long underground burrow as nest sites. Males search for locations containing a number of newly constructed burrows and attempt to control these sites against the intruders. Your cousin Peter…arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true about certainty of paternity? Question 12 options: Certainty of paternity is low when egg laying and mating occur together, as in external fertilisation. Certainty of paternity is high in most species with internal fertilisation because the acts of mating and birth are separated by time. Certainty of paternity is low when males guard females they have mated. Paternal behaviour exists because it has been reinforced over generations by natural selectionarrow_forwardWrite the definition of the following terms: 1. Semelparous life history 2.
