Chapter 22.4, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
Natural selection can promote reproductive isolation in allopatric populations.
Introduction:
Natural selection plays an important role in the process of evolution. Only the organisms that are selected by nature survive and the rest are eliminated. The selected organisms reproduce and the genes of the selected organisms contribute largely to the genetic pool of that population. Their genotype becomes more common in the population.

- What is sexual selection? How is sexual selection similar to and different from other forms of natural selection?arrow_forwardDecide whether each of the following scenarios would lead to prezygotic or postzygotic reproductive isolation: a) Dragonflies from two different populations have genitals that do not match, so they can't mate successfully [Select ] b) Two different species of fish have very different courtship displays, but they can mate and produce a non-fertile offspring [Select] c) One species of plant flowers in the winter, while another flowers in early spring [ Select ] d) The gametes of two tree species can fuse, but a zygote does not form [ Select ] e) A mountain range separates two populations of snakes I Select]arrow_forwardWhat is the one species that has shown the clearest examples of Group Selection?arrow_forward
- Even though Hardy and Weinburg showed that the process of random reproduction will not alter gene frequency in a population over time, in wild populations we observe that gene frequencies do change overtime so what has happened? A) sexual selection B) Evolution due to sexual selection C) none of these D) any of these E) Evolution due to genetic driftarrow_forwardIn what way is diversity intrinsically valuable to a population? How is genotypic or phenotypic diversity maintained if natural selection reduces variation?arrow_forwardIf (positive) assortative mating increases in a population, what would expect to happen to genotype frequency over generations? O a) Frequency of the heterozygous genotype will increase. b) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will decrease. O c) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will increase. O d) There will be no change in genotype frequency.arrow_forward
- What is known as allopatric speciation ?arrow_forwardIn general, why does stabilizing selection decrease genetic diversity?arrow_forwardOver time, enough genetic variations can develop within a population to cause it to undergo speciation. Identify the various mechanisms that will prevent different species from being able to reproduce successfully. Which of these mechanisms is the most influential in keeping species sperate?arrow_forward
- How can natural selection maintain harmful alleles in a population?arrow_forward1) Many organisms have the ability to reproduce asexually as well as perform sexual reproduction. A Scientist, John Smith, was conducting research on aphids that can undergo both methods of reproduction. He determined the males in his population had fertilization rate of 1.8 and a relative fitness of outcrossed offspring was 1.1. a) What is the equilibrium frequency of males in this population? b) Is this population stable equilibrium and why?arrow_forwardExplain how sexual selection might lead to a)sexual dimorphism and b) members of one sex (usually male) having traits that do not enhance their survivalarrow_forward
