McMaster Bio 1M03: Exam 2024/2025 Questions with all the correct Answers (Real Actual Exam). Why might Pasteur's experiment be inconclusive? - ANS - The swan-necked flask broth may not support cell growth, or the broth was poisoned. Experiment did not confirm hypothesis that all cells come from pre-existing cells Why are replicates important in experiments? - ANS - To ensure that results were not achieved by random chance What is the definition of a replicate? - ANS - Unit that shares a c...

Cave Salamander It occurs in the wet limestone caves of the Ozark highlands. It is often confused with the dark-sided salamander due to similar appearance and sympatry (occurring in the same place). Some hybridization occurs between the two, but not enough to lump the two species into one. Dark-sided Salamander It occurs in the wet limestone caves of the Ozark highlands. It is often confused with the cave salamander due to similar appearance and sympatry (occurring in same place). Som...

JMU BIO 150 Exam 2 Define macroevolution ️evolutionary change above the species level, including the origin of a new group of organisms or a shift in the broad pattern of evolutionary changes over time How do we identify a species? ️groups of actually or potentially interbreeding populations that are reproductivley isolated from other such groups Define reproductive isolation ️cannot produce viable offspring Define viable ️offspring can reproduce Define speciation ️splitt...

species - evolutionarily independent population or group of populations synapomorphy - a trait that is found in certain groups of organisms and their common ancestor, but is missing in more distant ancestors; identifies monophyletic groups; homologous traits that can be identified at the genetic, developmental, or structural level biological species concept - reproductive isolation between populations (they don't breed and don't produce viable, fertile offspring) - reproductive isolation...

What is reinforcement? How does it play out? What is it's role in the speciation process? correct answers secondary contact is for selection to "reinforce" existing isolating mechanisms -selection favors the evolution of prezygotic isolating mechanisms -hybrids unfit-> selection favors assortative mating-> mate preferences lead to decline in hybridization -Coyne and Orr: prezygotic isolation evolves faster in sympatric species -mate choice based on toad calls How is reproduct...
