34 plain alleles

Speciation for 100How does an egg cell determine whether to allow fertilization by a sperm cell?

Compatibility of membrane carbohydrates and proteins

Speciation for 300What are two ways to describe the situation when different mating seasons within a population lead to the formation of separate species?

Temporal isolation or a temporal barrier.

Systematics for 200Humans have binocular vision. Name a taxon in which this is an ancestral character and another taxon in which this is a derived character.

Ancestral = Homo sapiens, Homo, Hominidae, Primates

Derived = Eukarya, Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia

Systematics for 300If given the rate of mutation of DNA and the generation time, what can be determined about two related groups of orgs?

Their point of divergence

Hybrid breakdown

Potpourri for 200If 16% of individuals in a population show the recessive phenotype, find q, p, q2, p2, and 2pq.

q = .4p = .6q2 = .16p2 = .362pq = .48
