Species of fruit fly larvae in the genus Rhagoletis each feed on a particular kind of fruit. Rhagoletis pomonella feeds on the s

mall red fruit of the hawthorn tree. In 1865, farmers in the Hudson River valley found that R. pomonella flies had begun attacking their apples and then spread to apple orchards in adjacent areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut. These now separate varieties of flies, the apple and haw flies, usually don't interbreed with each other because their periods of mating coincide with the different ripening times of apples and hawthorn fruit. Each variety is becoming specialized to feed and reproduce in its own particular microhabitat and may be transitioning to separate species.If the apple and haw flies become distinct enough to be separate species, their evolution is an example of _________.
a. allopatric speciation
b. behavioral isolation
c. gametic isolation
d. sympatric speciation

Answer:

<em>d. Sympatric Speciation</em>

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is <em>the development from a living ancestral species to a new species as both tend to occupy the same geographic area. </em>

Sympatric and sympatric concepts in evolutionary biology and biogeography refer to species whose ranges overlap, such that at least in some cases they occur together.

Answer:

sympatric speciation

Explanation:

Species of fruit fly larvae in the genus Rhagoletis each feed on a particular kind of fruit. Rhagoletis pomonella feeds on the small red fruit of the hawthorn tree. In 1865, farmers in the Hudson River valley found that R. pomonella flies had begun attacking their apples and then spread to apple orchards in adjacent areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut. These now separate varieties of flies, the apple and haw flies, usually don't interbreed with each other because their periods of mating coincide with the different ripening times of apples and hawthorn fruit. Each variety is becoming specialized to feed and reproduce in its own particular microhabitat and may be transitioning to separate species.If the apple and haw flies become distinct enough to be separate species, their evolution is an example of sympatric speciation

givi [52]

The molecular biology technique of reverse genetics can be useful for determining the function of a gene.

<h3>What is reverse genetics?</h3>

Reverse genetics is method use in molecular biology to determine gene function in an organism

The procedure in reverse genetics involves modifying or certain nucleotide sequences in the DNA coding for a functional gene and then observing changes to the phenotype of the organism brought about by the modifications.

Therefore, reverse genetics can be useful for determining the function of a gene.
