16
Q

Individuals of different species are prevented from mating

A

Pre-zygotic isolation

17
Q

Individuals from different populations DO MATE, but hybrid have low fitness and don’t survive or reproduce

A

Post-zygotic isolation

18
Q

Biologist use 3 approaches?

A
  1. Biological species concept
  2. Morphological species concept
  3. phylogenetic species concept
19
Q

Populations reproductively isolated from each other

A

Biological species concept

20
Q

Populations that are constantly morphologically distant from each other

A

Morphological species concept

21
Q

Based on evolutionary history of populations

A

Phylogenetic species concept

22
Q

Gene pool isolation due to geographical isolation

A

Allopatric Speciation

23
Q

Organisms colonize new habitat —> new populations

A

Dispersal

24
Q

Physical barrier splits population into subgroups

A

Vicarience

25
Q

Barrier to gene floe isolates populations

A

Genetic isolation

26
Q

Mutation, selection, and genetic drift in isolated populations cause divergence

A

Genetic divergence

27
Q
  1. Gene pool isolation
  2. evolutionary changes
  3. reproductive isolation
A

speciation simplified

28
Q

Genetic isolation via assortative mating (gene flow stops bc of this)

A

Sympatric speciation

29
Q

Changes in chromosomes number confer reproductive isolation (gene flow stops bc change in chromosome numbers)

A

Polyploid speciation

30
Q

results in hybrid offspring inhibiting a new environment

A

Hybrid speciation
