Several closely related frog species in the genus Rana are found in the forests of the southeastern United States. The species’ boundaries are maintained by reproductive barriers. Match the description with the appropriate reproductive barrier. Females of one species choose mates based on song quality; females of another species choose mates on the basis of visual display.

Several closely related frog species in the genus Rana are found in the forests of the southeastern United States. The species’ boundaries are maintained by reproductive barriers. Match the description with the appropriate reproductive barrier. Males of one species are too small to perform amplexus (a physical action that stimulates ovulation) with females of all other species.

All members of the golden hamster species known today are descendants of a single litter collected in Syria in 1939. Its diploid chromosome number is 44. Two other species of hamster, each with a diploid number of 22, overlap in Syria. The golden hamster is thought to be a new species following the mating of a male & female of the two other hamster species. What mechanism might explain this recent event of speciation?
