In $1992,$ Spolsky, Phillips, and Uzzell reported genetic evidence that asexually reproducing lineages of a salamander species have persisted for about 5 million years. Is this surprising? Why or why not? Speculate about what sort of environment these asexual salamanders live in, and whether their population sizes are typically small $(\mathrm{say}, \text { less than } 100)$ or large (say, more than 1,000 ).
1. Which of the following uses the biological species concept to define species? a. This idea defines a species by structural features. It applies to sexual and asexual species but relies on subjective criteria b. We assume that species are separated by a reproductive isolating mechanism. c. Organisms which look alike belong to one species and those whose phenotypes differ belong to a different species. d. A species is viewed as a distinct cluster of genes. A population sharing enough similar genes is the same species. e. defines a species in terms of its ecological niche. It applies to sexual and asexual species and emphasizes the role of disruptive selection 2. What kind of genes can be used to examine the path of evolution in organisms? a. Multigene families, like the globins b. unique coding DNA c. L1 sequences d. regulatory sequences 3. Cytosine makes up 42% of the nucleotides in a sample of DNA from an organism. Approximately what percentage of the nucleotides in this sample will be thymine? a. 8% b. 16% c. 42% d. 58%
