🗑
The morphological species concept distinguishes species by ________________________.   show
🗑
Three species of a sea stars all mate near the same reef by secreting their gametes into the water, but none of the gametes from the different species fertilize each other. This is an example of a _____________ barrier called ____________.   show
🗑
How many genes must change in order to form a new species?   show
🗑
show a region in which members of different species meet and mate, producing at least some offspring of mixed ancestry

🗑
According to the __________, a species is a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring—but do not produce viable, fertile offspring with members of other such groups.   show
🗑
Imagine that part of a population of South American finches is blown by a storm onto an island far offshore and manages to survive and reproduce there for a period of 10,000 years. After that period, a climate change results in lower sea levels and the   show

🗑
Why are the large finches now living on the Galápagos Islands different from the original source population from a nearby island?   show
🗑
True or false? The last ice age produced many different species mainly because populations dispersed and colonized new habitats.   show
