Evolution part 2 Flashcards
Genetic Drift
Non-random Mating
Mutation
Gene Flow
Natural Selection
Allopatric Speciation
Sympatric Speciation
Behavioural Isolation -
Prevention of Mating
Pre-Fertilization
changes to behaviour (e.g. song/mating ritual changes) cause species to stay apart
Temporal Isolation -
Prevention of Mating
Pre-Fertilization
changes in timing (e.g. season species is active or diurnal/nocturnal) cause species to stay apart
Habitat Isolation
Prevention of Mating
Pre-Fertilization
change in habitat (e.g. preference to dry vs. moist area) causes species to stay apart
Mechanical Isolation -
Pre-Fertilization
Prevention of Fertilization
parts (e.g. genitals, body shape) don’t fit, so species prevented from mating
Gametic Isolation
Pre-Fertilization
Prevention of Fertilization
the gametes (e.g. sperm/eggs) can’t fuse, preventing fertilization
Hybrid Inviability -
Post-Fertilization
Prevention of Hybrids
mating occurs, but embryo aborts/miscarriages before birth
Hybrid Sterility
Post-Fertilization
Prevention of Hybrids
mating occurs, but offspring is sterile
Hybrid Breakdown
Post-Fertilization
Prevention of Hybrids
mating occurs but offspring can only have offspring with pure species of its parents (F2 generation not viable)
