 1. 

Polyploidy means having extra sets of ___________________. (11 letters)
 

 

 2. 

Polyploidy results from the failure of paired chromosomes to separate during mitosis or meiosis. This is called ________________. (14 letters)
 

 

 3. 

This type of polyploidy occurs when two different species interbreed and produce hybrid offspring. ___________________. (13 letters)
 

 

 4. 

Polyploidy resulting from a single species is known as _________________. (13 letters)
 

 

 5. 

In a hybrid zone, this could happen. The reproductive barriers could be weakened. This is called __________________. (6 letters)
 

 

 6. 

In a hybrid zone, this could happen. The reproductive barriers could be strengthened. This is called __________________. (13 letters)
 

 

 7. 

In a hybrid zone, this could happen. The continued formation of hybrids. This is called __________________. (9 letters)
 

 

 8. 

Periods of apparent stasis followed by a sudden change in new organisms is coined _______________________. (20 letters)
 

 

 9. 

When species change gradually over time it is referred to as ______________ evolution.(9 letters)

 10. 

the sperm cannot fertilize the egg; biochemical barrier
 

 11. 

breed during different times; come into heat at different times
 

 12. 

the genes may interact in ways to impair a new organisms development
 

 13. 

the new organisms is vigorous and sterile but their offspring are feeble
 

 14. 

two species occupy different habitats in the same area
 

 15. 

morphological differences will not allow mating; the parts do not fit
 

 16. 

the new organism is vigorous but sterile
 

 17. 

courtship rituals to attract a mate; if I cannot do the dance, I cannot get the girl
 
 
Species Concepts
a.
biological
c.
ecological
b.
morphological
d.
phylogenetic
 

 18. 

the smallest group of individuals that share a common ancestor
 

 19. 

species are separate due to reproductive barriers
 

 20. 

views a species in terms of its ecological niche
 

 21. 

characterizes a species by body shape and other structural features
 
 
Speciation
a.
allopatric
b.
sympatric
 

 22. 

different country
 

 23. 

same country
 

 24. 

no geographical separation of the species
 

 25. 

there is a geographical separation of the species
 

 26. 

natural selection is the biggest driver of this speciation
 

 27. 

biggest driver of this speciation is polyploidy, habitat selection, and sexual selection
 

Short Answer
 

 28. 

Hey, guess what? Autopolyploidy is easy to explain with nondisjunction. It involves the same species. The chromsomes didn’t separate so we have double the amount of chromosomes. We went from a diploid organism to a  tetraploid organism. So why don’t you explain allopolyploidy in your own words. Do a good job or no point!
