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 |

|
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 |

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 |
