Questions and Answers

What is microevolution?

  • The formation of new species
  • The development of reproductive barriers
  • Change in the frequencies of genotypes in a population (correct)
  • The process of adaptive radiation

    • According to Ernst Mayr, what is a species?

  • A group of organisms that occupy the same ecological niche
  • A group of organisms that share a common ancestor
  • A group of interbreeding individuals with similar physical characteristics
  • A group of potentially interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups (correct)

    • Which of these are prezygotic barriers that prevent mating?

  • Behavioral isolation
  • Mechanical isolation
  • Gametic isolation
  • all of the above (correct)
