1. According to scientists who accept the ï¼______) model, gene flow and migration between populations of archaic humans from different regions led to one species over time (i.e. modern humans).

Both the replacement and multiregional models of human origins agree that there was an initial dispersal of Homo erectus (or ergaster) from (_______) into the rest of the Old World.

According to the ecological species concept, in some cases different species:

	A.	can never produce offspring
	B.	can breed and produce offspring under unnatural circumstances
	C.	can only produce offspring in they live in the same ecosystem

Punctuated equilibrium and Gradualism are models that explain:

Which of the following best describes punctuated equilibrium?

	A.	the rate of evolutionary change is always slow and gradual
	B.	the relatively rapid expansion and diversification of life forms into new ecological niches
	C.	evolution occurs slowly most of the time, with occasional bursts of relatively rapid periods of change

	E.	evolutionary change based on the differential reproductive success of an individual in a species

1. Scientists found that different beak shapes lead to differentmating songs in Darwin's finches. This result best supports whichhypothesis?

	A. Darwin's finches are not different species according to theBiological Species Concept.
	B. Behavioral isolation in Darwin's finches is unrelated to beakshape.
	C. Adaptation to different food sources likely occurred afterreproductive isolation in Darwin's finches.
	D. Adaptation to different food sources indirectly led tobehavioral isolation in Darwin's finches.

2. Which of the following could occur if two partiallyreproductively isolated populations become sympatric? Check allthat apply.

	B. The populations may eventually become separate speciesthrough reinforcement
	C. The populations will continue to be partially reproductivelyisolated
	D. The populations may eventually lose their geneticdistinctiveness

4. Indicate true or false that the following organisms would beconsidered separate species according to the biological speciesconcept. (T/F)

1. Lions and tigers can interbreed successfully to produce viable,fertile offspring, but lions live in open grasslands and tigerslive in dense forests. (T/F)
2. Black bears in the United States can have coat colors rangingfrom blonde to jet black, but bears with different coat colorsoccupy the same habitat and interbreedsuccessfully. (T/F)
