question 9

Multiple Choice

Use the following information when answering the corresponding question(s) .
About 3 million years ago,the Isthmus of Panama (a narrow strip of land connecting North and South America) formed,dividing marine organisms into Pacific and Caribbean populations.Researchers have examined species of snapping shrimp on both sides of the isthmus.Based on the morphospecies concept,there appeared to be seven pairs of species,with one species of each pair in the Pacific and the other in the Caribbean.The different species pairs live at somewhat different depths in the ocean.Using mitochondrial DNA sequences,the researchers estimated phylogenies and found that each of these species pairs,separated by the isthmus,were indeed each other's closest relatives.The researchers investigated mating in the lab and found that many species pairs were not very interested in courting with each other,and any that did mate almost never produced fertile offspring.(N.Knowlton,L.A.Weigt,L.A.Solorzano,D.K.Mills,and E.Bermingham.1993.Divergence in proteins,mitochondrial DNA,and reproductive incompatibility across the Isthmus of Panama.Science 260:1629-32. )
-Refer to the paragraph about the formation of the Isthmus of Panama.If the isthmus formed gradually rather than suddenly,what pattern of genetic divergence would you expect to find in these species pairs?

• A)similar percentages of difference in DNA sequence between all pairs of sister species
• B)greater percentage of difference in DNA sequence between species that inhabit deep water than between species that inhabit shallow water
• C)greater percentage of difference in DNA sequence between species that inhabit shallow water than between species that inhabit deep water
