Use the following information to answer the question. 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 morphological species 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. (Reference: Y. Kondo and A. Kashiwagi. 2004. Experimentally induced autotetraploidy and allotetraploidy in two Japanese pond frogs. Journal of Herpetology 38(3):381-92.) If the isthmus formed gradually rather than suddenly, what pattern of genetic divergence would you expect to find in these species pairs?

The hershey and chase experiments involved the preparation of two different types of radioactively labeled phage. which of the following best explains why two preparations were required? a. the bacteriophage used in the experiments was a t2 phage. b. it was necessary that each of the two phage components, dna and protein, be identifiable upon recovery at the end of the experiment. c. each scientist had his own method for labeling phage, so each conducted the same experiment using a different isotope. d. establishing the identity of the genetic material required observation of two phage generations.
