QUESTION 2 Which of the following best describes the significance of the Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibility model in understanding genetic isolation? O It models how the accumulation of mutations in separate populations can lead to reproductive incompatibilities when hybridization occurs. O It explains how morphological divergence leads to ecological separation. O It assumes that allopatric populations remain reproductively compatible unless acted upon by natural selection. O It shows that geographic isolation alone can ensure speciation without genetic divergence.

Why is the advent of reproductive isolation important from an evolutionary standpoint? A. When the organisms comprising two populations of a species can no longer interbreed, the flow of genetic material between them stops. B. It is not important from an evolutionary standpoint. The question is based on a false assumption. C. Reproductive isolation increases the mutation rate. D. Reproductive isolation may slow reproduction.

Which of the following sequence of events best describes the process leading to speciation? (1) Divergence in traits, (2) isolation between populations, and (3) reproductive isolation . (1) --> (2) --> (3) (2) --> (3) --> (1) (2) --> (1) --> (3) (3) --> (1) --> (2) None of the above

The size of the geographical barrier needed to reproductively isolate two populations is dependent on the type of organism. True/false Why do different mutations accumulate in two species once they diverge? Multiple Choice Natural selection favors mutations in one species over another. convergent evolution Once they diverge and become reproductively isolated, mutations form and accumulate separately in the two species. The mutations make the species different. The molecular clock runs at different speeds in different species.
