Of the following, which is an example of a postzygotic barrier? O Due to incompatible interactions between inherited genes, a hybrid fetus is unable to develop, and is aborted. O One species mates in spring, while another mates in summer. O A female spider of one species does not respond to the mating display of a male of a closely related species. Cell surface proteins of one species eggs prevent sperm from another species attaching, so the sperm cannot fertilize it.

EVOLUTION LINK Could hawthorn and apple maggot flies be considered an example of assortative mating, which was discussed in Chapter 19? Explain your answer.
In C. elegans there are two sexes: hermaphrodite and male. Sex is determined by the ratio of X chromosomes to haploid sets of autosomes (X/A). An X/A ratio of 1.0 produces a hermaphrodite (XX), and an X/A ratio of 0.5 results in a male (XO). In the 1970s, Jonathan Hodgkin and Sydney Brenner carried out genetic screens to identify mutations in three genes that result in either XX males (tra-1, tra-2) or XO hermaphrodites (her-1). Double-mutant strains were constructed to assess for epistatic interactions between the genes (see table). Propose a genetic model of how the her and tra genes control sex determination.

In honey bees, males are developed parthenogenetically while workers are developed after sexual reproduction. The workers exhibit more similarity among themselves as compared to the queen. If the workers start giving organism parthenogenetically then the offspring would most likely resemble:
