Q

Speciation

A

The formation of a new and different species.

75
Q

Seven steps to become a new species:

A
  1. Reproduction potential
  2. Variation 5. Divergence
  3. Competition 6. Isolation
  4. Natural selection. 7. New species
76
Q

Monomer of DNA

A

Nucleotides

77
Q

Reproductive potential

A
  • The relative capacity of a species to reproduce itself under optumum conditions.
    Rule: All organisms have the potential to reproduce more than the environment can can support.
78
Q

Variation

A
  • Individuals do not evolve, populations do.
  • All indivuduals in a population have a certain number of traits that are different.
79
Q

What are the 3 kinds of variable traits:

A
  1. Morphological (Morph = form) External traits.
  2. Physiological - How their body functions internally
  3. Behavioral - How they act/react
80
Q

5 sources of variation (only because variation and not environment.

A
  1. Genetic mutations (the only one thay creates a new species)
  2. Abnormal changes in chromosome structure or number (trisomy, monosomy)
  3. Crossing over and genetic recombination during meiosis.
  4. Independent assortmet of chromosomes during meiosis.
  5. Fertilization between genetically different gametes.
81
Q

Competition (impacted by the environment)

A

-In every population there is competition between individuals for different resources. (Food, shelter)
- Those who compete and win survive and reproduce.

82
Q

Two types of competition

A
  1. Intrapecific comp - Individuals of the same population must compete for resources.
  2. Interspecific comp - Two species compete for the same (limited) resource, they will impact eachothers population.
83
Q

Natural selection

A
  • The environment limits the growth population by: increasing the rate of death and decreasing the rate of reproduction.
  • Organisms that have a greater number of favorable traits tend to leave more offspring.
  • A population of organisms addapt to their environment as their proportion of genes for favorable traits increases.
  • Natural selection is a passive process. Organisims don’t simply decide to aquire certain traits.
    -the environment selects the traits that will increase in a population.
84
Q

Darwin’s thoughts

A

Darwin called the different degrees of successful reproduction amoung organisms in a population: natural selection. ( also graduallism)

85
Q

Types of natural selection

A
  1. Disruptive selection: Individuals with both extreme forms are favored (if it changes) aka disruptive [2 sides]
  2. Stabilizing selection: Individuals with the average form are favored [middle]
  3. Directional selection: Individuals with an extreme form are favored [one side]
  4. There is also sexual selection.
86
Q

Divergence

A
  • A group within a species may slowly branch off or diverge fron the main group.
87
Q

Hardy-Weinberg principle of genetic equillibrum:

A

P+q=1
P^2+ 2(pq) + q^2= 1

88
Q

Conditions of equillibrium:

A
  1. No natural selection: Equal fittness in the environment.
  2. No mutataions: All genes are passed down identically.
  3. No migration: No new genes entering or leaving the gene pool.
  4. Large population: Can withstand small changes to the environment.
  5. Random mating: No sexual selection.
89
Q

Isolation

A

When two parts of a formeely inteebreeding population stop interbreeding.

90
Q

Two types of isolation

A
  1. Gographic isolation: physical saparation of members in a population.
  2. (Often follows disruptive selection) the result of barriers to successful reproduction between two groups in the same population.
91
Q

Two types of reproductive selection (a part of isolation)

A
  1. Prezygotic isolation: Isolation that occurs before fertilization e.g. incomplete behavior (wrong mating call) different mating times.
  2. Postzygotic isolation: Isolation that occurs after fertilization e.g. the offspring do not develop fully and die, sterile offsping.
92
Q

Morphological concept of species

A

-Uses the external structure and apperance of an organism to classify it as a species.
-Positive - Easy to use
-Negative - Does allow for any phenotypic differences among individuals in a single population.

93
Q

Biological consept of species

A
  • A species is a population of organisms that can successfuly interbreed but cannot interbreed with other groups.
  • Positive: Useful definition for living organisms.
  • Negative: Useless for extinct organisms; useless for organisms that do not reproduce sexually l.
94
Q

How to identify a species

A

We often combine the two definition for a species today (morphological and biological)
- Thus a species is… a population with morphological similarities that interbreed among themselves successfully.

95
Q

Rate of speciation / two perspectives

A
  1. Gradualism: speciation requires millions of years and is caused by evolutionary changes that occur gradually. (Darwinian concept)
  2. Punctuated equillibrium: Speciation that occurs suddenly by rapid shifts in the from of organisms followed by periods of no change. Most scientist today agree with this concept.
96
Q

Patterns of evolution

A
  1. Divergent evolution: Two or more related populations or species become more different.
  2. Convergent evolution: Two organismas that appear to be very similar but are not closely related at all e.g.
  3. Coevolution: The change in two or more species in close association with eachother. e.g. preditors and their prey often coevolve. happens to one happens to another.
97
Q

The gap between 2 neurons is called

A

Synapse or junction

98
Q

Competitive exclusion principal

A

Two similar species competing for the same limited resoirce cannot coexist.

99
