True or False, sympatric speciation is when populations are separated physically
What is False
400

What is true
400
As O2 increases, so do _______
What is larger, more complex organisms
400
Why all biological populations evolve
Equilibrium conditions are never met
500
Which species is the outgroup
What is panthera pardus
500
Genetically, the reason that hybrid organisms are often less fit for survival
*1 out of 3 is acceptable*
Hybrid zygotes will die during development or develop life-threatening abnormalities w/o ever reproducing
Hybridization causes too much change and results in a higher chance of death
Hybrid offspring are infertile.
