phylogenic tree that shows the history of a species
speciation event--->population of first organism--->biodiversity--->continued speciation
phylogenetic history
the evolutionary history of organisms
phylogeny
a classification of organisms consisting of related classes
phylum
the science of the function of living systems. It is a subcategory of biology. In physiology, the scientific method is applied to determine how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells and biomolecules carry out the chemical or physical function that they have in a living system.
physiological process
tapeworm
a phylum of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrate animals. no body cavity, and no specialized circulatory and respiratory organs
platyhelminthes
the doubling of the number of sets of chromosomes in an individual
polyploidy
animals of the phylum Porifera.Their bodies consist of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems.
porifera (sponges)
a barrier to reproduction caused by the physical inability of individuals to mate with each other, or the inability of the male's reproductive cell to fertilize the female's reproductive cell
prezygotic barrier to reproduction
one celled organisms
prokaryotes
"Panmixia"
all individuals are potential partners. This assumes that there are no mating restrictions, neither genetic or behavioural

In genetics, random mating involves the mating of individuals regardless of any physical, genetic, or social preference.
random mating
fish species characterized by rigid bones and a mouth at the apex of the body; they are so called because their fins are lined with hardened rays.

reproductive advantage
inability of individuals from two populations to produce fertile offspring together
