speciation Flashcards
what is allopatric speciaition?
= speciaition that occurs due a poulation necoming genetucally isolated
What is synpatric isolation?
= speciaition occuring within a population in the same area
= reprodutivley isolayed
= differences in behaviours
= random mutations may influence repriductive behaviour
= different courtship behavioiur
= so there is now gene flow between the 2 groups of the populations
=n reprooductlviey isolated, accumulutae different mutations, that their genetically different, unable to reporudce to priduce fertile offsprig.
How do allopatric speciaition lead to the development of a new species?
= geohraphical isaoltation prevenys reproduction, due t geographical barrier
= both populatiosn accunukae different benevicial mutations, over time to help them survive the environemnts (natural selection) this leas to the accimulation of a different gene pool wiht different advantageous allee
s=
= so becom egneetically different that if the pioulations were to reunite, they would not be able to interbreed to produce fertile offsprig, so are two different species.
