abioltically produced polypeptides
proteinoids
precursors to cells
protobionts
experimentally and abiotically produced protobionts that have some selectively permeable qualities
mircospheres and coacervates
two or more species that originate from same ancestor
divergent evolution
two unrelated species that share similar traits due to similar ecological conditions
convergent evolution
two related species or related lineages that make evolutionary changes after diverging from common ancestor
parallel evoluion
evolution of one species in response to new adaptations that appear in another species; predator and prey
coevolution
prezygotic isolating mechanism; when species do not encounter
habitat isolation
when species mate during different seasons or different times of day
temporal isolation
when species does not recognize another species mating partner because dont understand courtship rituals
behavioral isolation
genitalia structurally incompatible
mechanical isolation
when male gametes do not survive in female gamete's environment
gametic isolation
zygote fails to develop properly and aborts before reaching reproductive maturity
hybrid inviability
hybrids become functional adults but reproductively sterile
hybrid sterility
hybrids produce offspring that have reduced viability or fertility
hybrid breakdown
rapid evolution of many species from single ancestor due to diverse geographic or ecological conditions
adaptive radiation
two species mate and prdouce progeny along a geographic boundary called hybrid zone
hybridization
formation of new species without geographic barrier
sympatric speciation
more than normal two sets of chromosomes found in diploid cells ; due to nondisjunction during meiosis
polyploidy
similarly colored insects are reproductively isolated from other subpolulation and gene pool diverges
balanced polymorphism
population divided by geographic barrier so that interbreeding between two population prevented
allopatric speciation
random increase or decrease of alleles
genetic drift
allele frequencies in group of migrating individuals are not the same as that of their population of origin
founder effect
population undergoes dramatic decrease in size; becomes vulnerable to genetic drift
bottleneck
when least common phenotype have selective advantage; phenotypes alternate between low and high frequencies
frequency dependent selection; example of balanced polymorphism
superior quality of offspring resulting from crosses between two different inbred strains of plants
hybrid vigor; example of balanced polymorphism
