Speciation

Question 1

Speciation

Answer 1

The process of a new species being developed

Question 2

types of speciation

Answer 2

Sympatric and Allopatric

Question 3

Sympatric speciation

Answer 3

• in the same country
• organisms are reproductively isolated e.g., physical changes
• prevents gene flow

Question 4

Allopatric speciation

Answer 4

• different country
• organisms are reproductively isolated by geographic location
• prevents gene flow

Question 5

Allopatric speciation process

Answer 5

1) organisms are separated via geographic isolation

2) random mutations lead to variation and adaptation

3) natural selection allows better adapted organisms to survive and reproduced

4) gene flow between isolated populations stop

5) overtime’s populations change sufficiently so they can no longer breed to produce fertile offspring

Question 6

Sympatric speciation process

Answer 6

1) random mutations lead to variation and adaptations

2) natural selection allows better adapted organisms to survive and reproduce

3) organisms become reproductively isolated e.g., breeding patterns

4) gene flow between isolated populations stop

5) overtime populations change sufficiently so they can no longer produce fertile offspring

Question 7

Gene flow

Answer 7

Refers to the movement of genes or alleles between interbreeding populations of a particular species
