A key difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes is

a. the lack of controls of gene expression in prokaryotes.
b. the physical arrangement of genes on the chromosome(s).
c. the near simultaneous transcription and translation that occurs in eukaryotes and is strictly
sequential in prokaryotes.
d. the physical separation of transcription and translation in prokaryotes compared to no
separation of the processes in eukaryotes.
e. the regulation of the cell cycle by eukaryotes which is not observed in prokaryotes.

Two hundred years ago, the fly species Rhagoletis pomonella only laid its eggs on fruit of the hawthorn tree. Today, different "host races" of R. pomonella lay their eggs on hawthorns OR apples. Apples occur within the range of hawthorns, so divergence between apple flies and hawthorn flies could be the first step in sympatric speciation. Choose the evidence that would suggest that R. pomonella is currently undergoing sympatric speciation. Check all that apply.  

_____  Apple flies typically mate with apple flies, and hawthorn flies typically mate with hawthorn flies. _____  Apple flies and hawthorn flies emerge from their hosts at different times of the year. _____  Apple flies and hawthorn flies are able to form fertile hybrids. _____  Apple flies and hawthorn flies are physically indistinguishable from each other.
