Questions and Answers

Which process can drive sympatric speciation?

  • Mutation
  • Natural selection
  • Sexual selection (correct)
  • Genetic drift
  • What is a hybrid zone?

  • A region where species compete for resources
  • A region where different species mate and produce hybrids (correct)
  • A region where species evolve in isolation
  • A region where species migrate and interbreed
  • What are hybrids?

  • Species that have complete reproductive barriers
  • Species that are genetically identical
  • Species that can interbreed freely
  • Species that result from mating between species with incomplete reproductive barriers (correct)
  • Where can a hybrid zone occur?
