spring test 3 Flashcards
we can get speciation in an ____ population because there is no ____
in an ISOLATED pop, no GENE FLOW
how many percentage of fish species are fresh water
42%
beefalo = ? + ?
5/8 cattle (cow taurus) + 3/8 bison
in yellow stone, how are the bison protected?
there is no gene flow with beefalos, pure bisons
definition of speciation
creation of anew species from existing one
speciation = __ + ___
evolution + isolation
biological species definition
group of organisms that interbreed to produce fertile offspring
morphological species definition
organisms that looks the same are the same species
___ + ___ = evolution
mutation + selection
Isolations occur in 2 ways
geographic, reproductive
geographic isolation
isolated because of a geographic barrier like ocean, mountain. ie: saber tooth to tiger and lions
reproductive isolation
keeps them from breeding
2 types of reproductive isolation
prezygotic and postzygotic
prezygotic isolation
sperm and egg never meet ie: eastern & western skunk
postzyogtic isolation
sperm & egg meet but offspring are infertile
ways to study speciation (6)
fossil record, vestigial structures, homologous structures, embryology, genetics, phylogenetic trees
allopatric speciation
speciation happens with a geographic barrier
sympatric speciation
speciation happens without geographic barrier.eg: cichlids
phylogenetic tree
shows common ancestor, and most recent common ancestor = more related
vestigial structures
residual parts from ancestors that now has no use eg: eye of cave fish, back legs of whales, goosebumps for humans
are appendix vestigial sturcutres
no, provides bacteria
homologous structures
structures on diff species with same structure but diff function
analogous structures
same function, diff structure. don’t show evolutionary history
the fossil record
valley of the whales, shows physical adaptations of animals through time
