1Upon studying whether the classification of species is arbitrary or real, the general finding confirms that species are real and represent discrete groups that can reflect morphological, genetic and behavioural differences.
However at present there is no one general agreed species definition.- AVerdadero
- BFalso
2The biological species concept is at present the most commonly used concept.
A species is a group of [blank_start]populations[blank_end] whose members can [blank_start]interbreed[blank_end] and produce viable offspring but [blank_start]do not[blank_end] interbreed with members of other species.- Apopulations
- Binterbreed
- Cdo not
- Ddo
3One limit of the biological species concept is that it doesn’t apply to asexual organisms e.g. prokaryotes.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
4Other species concepts
The biological species concept focuses on reproductive barriers keeping species apart, other concepts emphasise unity within species.
1. [blank_start]Morphological[blank_end] species concept, distinguishes a species based on body shape and size.
2. [blank_start]Ecological[blank_end] species concept, defines a species in terms of its ecological niche.
3. [blank_start]Phylogenetic[blank_end] species concept, defines a species as the smallest group of individuals that share a common ancestor.
4. [blank_start]Specific mate recognition[blank_end] species concept, defines a species as a group of organisms that share a common mate recognition system.- AMorphological
- BEcological
- CPhylogenetic
- DSpecific mate recognition
5ALLOPATRIC SPECIATION
Allopatric speciation occurs when [blank_start]gene flow[blank_end] is interrupted as a result of a population being divided into geographically isolated subpopulations.- Agene flow
6Label the images as either vicariance or dispersal allopatric speciation.
- AVicariance
- BDispersal
7SYMPATRIC SPECIATION
Sympatric speciation can occur via [blank_start]polyploidy[blank_end], [blank_start]sexual selection[blank_end] and [blank_start]habitat differentiation[blank_end].
Two forms of polyploidy have been observed in plants – autopolyploidy ([blank_start]self[blank_end]) and allopolyploidy ([blank_start]other[blank_end]).- Apolyploidy
- Bdiploidy
- Cmonoploidy
- Dsexual selection
- Enatural selection
- Fhabitat differentiation
- Ghabitat integration
- Hself
- Iother
- Jother
- Kself
8What type of sympatric speciation is this diagram representing?
- Aautopolyploidy
9Select all that are CORRECT with regards to Allopolyploidy.
- AAn allopolyploid is a plant that is a hybrid between only one species.
- BThe resulting polyploid plants contain chromosome sets derived from two or more species.
- CMost hybrids are sterile because their chromosomes
are not homologous and cannot pair during meiosis. (Such hybrids may be able to reproduce asexually). - DIn subsequent generations, mitotic or meiotic non-disjunction can double the chromosome number and change a sterile hybrid into a fertile polyploid.
- EAllopolyploids are fertile when mating with each other but can not mate with either parental species.
10PATTERNS OF SPECIATION
[blank_start]Anagenesis[blank_end] is gradual change within a single lineage over time.
[blank_start]Cladogenesis[blank_end] is evolutionary change produced by the branching of populations to form new species.
[blank_start]Adaptive radiation[blank_end] is the rapid formation of many new species from a single ancestral group, characteristically to fill a new ecological area / zone.
[blank_start]Extinction[blank_end] is the disappearance of a species from the earth, the fossil record reveals a low steady rate of extinction interrupted periodically by mass extinction.- AAnagenesis
- BCladogenesis
- CAdaptive radiation
- DExtinction
11Both anagenesis and cladogenesis occur but cladogenesis is generally considered to be responsible for the diversity of species over evolutionary time.
