scientists mate two parrots from different populations to see if speciation has occured. the parrots mate over and over again but the male sperm never fertilizes the female egg. what type of barrier is this
gametic isolation which is prezygotic barrier
two lizards mate and produce a viable zygote. individuals in the next generation are sterile. what type of barier is this
hybrid infertility which is postzygotic barrier
one plant opens its flowers during the day, whereas a nearby plant only opens its flowers at night. what type of barrier is this
temporal isolation which is prezygotic barrier
process that has occured in sichlid species is
sympatric speciation
extinctions occur when
no member of a species has the alleles neccessary to survive and reproduce when conditions change

the genus and species

genus

is broader classification

term

is species

biological species concept

defines species based on their potenital to interbreed and produce fertile offspring

biological species concept

speciation

the formation of new species

extinct organisms

the difference between the biological species concept and linnaeus definnition of the term species

linneaus= defined by appeareance

reproductive barriers cause

speciation

the potential to interbreed defines

species due to the biological species concept

reduce the fitness of offspring produced by members of two different species

postzygotic reproductive barriers

types of postzygotic reproductive barriers

hybrid inviability


hybrid infertility (sterility)


hybrid breakdwon

hybrid offspring fail to reach maturity is this type of postzygotic reproductive barrier

hybrid inviability

hybrid offspring unable to reproduce is this type of postzygotic reproductive barrier

hybrid inferitility (sterility)

second generation hybrid offspring have reduced fitness is this type of postzygotic reproductive barriers

hybrid breakdown

hybrid species are not viable is an example of this type of postzygotic reproductive barrier

hybrid infertility

offspring of hybrid species have abnormal genitalia is an example of this postzygotic reproductive barrier

hybrid breakdown

a cross between a horse and a donkey producing a infertile mule is an example of

postyzygotic reproductive barrier hybrid infertility

how do reprodcutive barriers lead to speciation

because reproductive barriers change the potential of species to interbreed, which is the definition of species

spatial patterns define

two types of speciation

reproductive barriers arise in two ways, depending on

spatial patterns

the two ways reproductive barriers arise which depend on spatial patterns

1. allopatric speciation


2. sympatric speciation

the two types of speciation that spatial patterns define

1. allopatric speciation2. sympatric speciation

allopatric speciation

no contact between populations

in _________ there is no contact between populations

allopatric speciation

sympatric speciation

continuous contact between populations

in ______ there is continuous contact between populations

sympatric speciation

in this speciation a barrier physcially seperates a population into two groups that cannot interbreed


-with no gene transfer, each population proceeds down its own evolutionary line


-eventally, genetic differences between the populations give rise to one or more reproductive barriers

allopatric speciation

allopatric speciation

in this speciation a barrier physcially seperates a population into two groups that cannot interbreed-with no gene transfer, each population proceeds down its own evolutionary line-eventally, genetic differences between the populations give rise to one or more reproductive barriers

species dividing into subspecies due to differnt locations is an example of

allopatric speciation

in this speciation, populations diverge genetically while sharing a habitat

sympatric speciation

sympatric speciation

in this speciation, populations diverge genetically while sharing a habitat

in sympatric speciation

species will specialize in a micro environment, leading ot reproductive isolation and speciation

sympatric speciation also occurs when

gametes unite to form polyploid offspring with more chromosomes than either plant

when offspring has more chromosomes than either parent it is

polyploid


-sympatric speciation is what allows this to occur

a polyploid organism might form when

gametes from two species unite,producing the first cell of a new species

when gametes from two species unite,producing the first cell of a new species

a polyploid organism might form

allopatric vs sympatric speciation

allopatric is when there is a physcial barrier betwen two species, so reproductive barriers arise (ex. land bridge between north and south america)


sympatric is when species live in same habitat but still diverge, leading to reproductive isolation and speciation(ex. fish in a lake that have unique micro environments)

pace of speciation

fossil record support two phyotheses about the pace of evolution/ speication


1. gradualism


2. punctuated equilibrium

fossil record support two phyotheses about the pace of evolution/ speication

1. gradualism


2. punctuated equilibrium

gradualism

suggests that evolution proceeds in small, incremental changes over many genreations

this suggests that evolution proceeds in small, incremental changes over many genreations

gradualism

punctuated equilibrium

suggest that long periods of little change are interrupted by bouts of rapid change

this suggest that long periods of little change are interrupted by bouts of rapid change

punctuated equilibrium

evolution might occur quickly when a

key adaptation arises

first flowering plants diversified quickly as

flowers provided a new option for reproduction


- this is an example of punctuated equilibrium

key adaptations are apart of

punctuated equilibrium

mass extinctions are apart of

punctuated equilibrium

evolution might also occur quickly

following a mass extinction


- the surviving organisms exploit new resources in the changed environment

mass extinctions cause organisms to

exploid new resources in the changed enviornment

things that speed up evolution that are apart of punctuated equilibrium

key adaptations and mass extinctions

a species is extinct when

all of its members have died

most extinctions occur as part of the

background extinction rate

background extinction rate

the pace at which species go extinct to gradually changing environments

the pace at which species go extinct due to gradually changing environments

background extinction rate

base of extinction rate graph is

background extinction rate

there has been _ mass extinctions in the last 600 million years on earth

5

the peaks of the extinction rate are

mass extinctions

during mass extincitons

many species went extinct in a short time

impact theory

suggests that meteorites or comets caused some mass extincitons

this theory of mass extinctions suggest that meteorites or comets caused some mass extincitons

impact theory

the impact theory

meteorites or commets caused some mass extincitons


- the debris suspended in the atmospere after a collison dramatically changed the environment, leading to the extinciton of many species

this thoery suggests that the debris suspended in the atmosphere after a collision dramatically changed the environment, leading to the extinciton of many species

impact theory

layers of ___ in rock layers are common in meteorites

iridium

plate tectonics also might explain

mass extinctions

humans are changing so much of the biosphere that we may be experiencing a

6th mass extinction

thoerys of what causes mass extinctions

impact theory


and


plate tectonics

background extinction vs mass extinctions

background extinctions are what most extinctions occur as, which is the pace at which species go extinct due to gradually changing environments


mass extinctions are what the 5 mass extinctions have occured and is where many species went extinct in a short time

climate change in one region does

not cause extinction of plant species as we do not know if the plant species is in other regions where it is thriving
