One species of grasshopper, Gryllus veletis mates in the spring. A closely related species of grasshopper,Gryllus pennsylvanicus mates in the fall. Their habitats partially overlap in the Pennsylvania and Ohio River Valley.
Is this an example of a prezygotic or postzygotic barrier?
What type of reproductive isolating barrier is exhibited here?

Polyploidy is a common mechanism of speciation in angiosperms, which are flowering plants. It is estimated that 30% - 70% of present day angiosperms are polyploid. From phylogenetic studies, it has been proposed that the genome of the most primitive angiosperms consisted of 7-11 chromosomes.
Complete the table below. Four angiosperms are indicated. Indicate either your expectation for the probably ancestor haploid number, the present day chromosome number, or the level of polyploidy expected. The ploidy level is usually reported as an integer factor of n, the haploid number of the ancestor.
