Origin of Species Flashcards
Prezygotic Isolating
prevents zygote fertilization
Prezygotic Isolation Mechanisms:
-Temporal
-Ecological
-Behavioral
-Mechanical
Temporal Mechanism
occurs when two species mate at different times of year
Ecological Mechanism
occurs when two species occupy different habitats
Behavioral Mechanism
occurs when two species have different courtship behaviors
Behavioral Mechanism
occurs when two species have different courtship behaviors
Mechanical Mechanism
occurs when physical difference prevents copulation/pollunation from happening
Postzygotic Isolating
keeps hybrid zygotes from developing into healthy, fertile adults
Postzygotic Isolating
keeps hybrid zygotes from developing into healthy, fertile adults
Postzygotic Isolation Mechanisms
-Hybrid Inviability
-Hybrid Infertility
-Hybrid Breakdown
Postzygotic Isolation Mechanisms
-Hybrid Inviability
-Hybrid Infertility
-Hybrid Breakdown
Hybrid Infertility Mechanism
hybrid fails to produce functional gametes
Hubrid Inviability Mechanism
hybrids are produced but fail to develop to reproductive maturity
Hybrid Breakdown Mechanism
F1 hybrids are fertile, but F2 generation fails to develop properly
Speciation
the creation of a new species as organisms diverge from a common ancestor
