Which of the following step/s are required for speciation process?
a) isolation of population
b) mating system or habitat use to diverge
c) reproductive isolation
d) all of these
Which of the following create/s conditions for speciation?
a) polyploidy
b) dispersal
c) variance
d) all of these
For the process of speciation to continue, which of the following has/have to act on mutations in a way that creates divergence in the isolated populations?
a) natural selection
b) genetic drift
c) competition
d) both a and b
Explanation: Genetic drift is the change in frequency of an existing gene variant in the population due to random chance
The process of speciation is of……kinds.
a) two
b) three
c) four
d) five
Explanation: 1. Sympatric speciation, 2. Allopatric speciation and 3. Parapatric speciation
When population of a species that share the same habitat become reductively isolated from each other, results in the phenomenon of ………speciation.
a) sympatric
b) allopatric
c) parapatric
d) all of these
Sympatric speciation phenomenon most commonly occurs through………
a) euploidy
b) polyploidy
c) diploidy
d) triploidy
Explanation: a tetraploid individual cannot mate with a diploid individual creating reproductive isolation
