lecture 19b Flashcards
closely related species share
many characteristics
distantly related species share
less characteristics
phylogenetic tree
graphical representation of a hypothesis
(sequence of speciation events)
hypothesis(biology) is an evolutionary group of..
taxa
phylogeny
evolutionary group of taxa estimated from data
when does speciation begin?
when gene flow stops
(mating and reproduction)
If a Large population with a common gene pool goes through a long period of isolation from each other what would happen?
*the two populations woukdnt be able to interbreed anymore
*they would become two different species
eg: the outgrouo can be seen as a
friend who’s in the family photo who’s not related to anyone
if a trait is shared between an out group and ingroup its most likely..
an ancestral trait
if a trait is found in the whole class BUT the outgroup it is..
a shared derived trait
a shared derived trait is used to define
our monophyletic groups
what is or is not a shared derived trait depends on your
reference group
living organisms are the products of
billions of years of evolution
all species are a mixture of
ancestral and derived traits
a nucleus can be seen as what trait for humans and eukaryotes?
ancestral -human
derived- eukaryotic
