'There are two frog species (A and B) living in a pristine montane environment: Thirty individuals of each species are captured and moved to polluted, urban stream: The mutation rate in functional genes of Species A is 4 10 (-6). The mutation rate in functional genes of Species B is 8*10((-9). They both have the same number of functional genes The species that is more likely have beneficial allele arise and adapt to the new environment is Frog species The species that is more likely to accumulate deleterious Select mutations in the environment Frog species B Frog species'

The images show two species of tree frogs in a particular region. The gray tree frogs are adapted to the trees of the woodlands, while the green tree frogs can survive in woodlands or grasslands. The gray frog was abundant in the woodlands. Because of climatic changes, most of the trees in the region died, and the woodlands changed to grasslands. In such a case, the . The gray tree frog is closely related to the green tree frog genetically, but they have different mating calls. This suggests that speciation occurred because of .

Leopard frogs from different geographic populations of the Rana pipiens complex a. are members of a single species because they look very similar to one another. b. are different species shown to have pre and postzygotic isolating mechanisms. c. $\quad$ frequently interbreed to produce viable hybrids. d. $\quad$ are genetically identical due to effective reproductive isolation.
