the origin of species speciation and macroevolution Flashcards
biological species concept will only apply to
sexual repoduction
species
consists of 1+ populations whose members are capable of inbreeding in nature to produce fertile offspring and do no inbreed with members of different species
sexual reproduction
makes the concept limited
the mechanism of the species concept is
reproductive iosolation
species are very _____ kind of organisms
distinct
what do scientist compare species
morphology (shape,structure,phiysiology,biochemistry) they also look at there dna sequnces
two types of finches distinct species because
they have been proved to be diff. species because of there song and behavior. its different enough to prevent inbreeding
humans are diverse but considered one species because
they are capable of inbreeding in nautre
reproductive isolating mechanism
prevents inbreeding between 2 species
though the two species may eat the same thing, same enviorment,same behavior and it amy all overlap but
inbreeding will be prevented some way
reproductive isolating mechanism will preserve genetic integrity which means
gene pools will stay seperate
reproductive isolating prevents
gene flow between 2 gene pools
reproductive isolation is the key to
speciation
prezygotic barrier
prevents fertilization
postzygotic barrier
a mechanism that blocks reproduction after fertilization and zygote formation
prevents gene flow when fertilization occurs
in prezygotic the interspecific
zygote never gets made
types of prezygotic barriers
temporal isolation
habitat isolation
behavior isolation
mechanical isolation
gametic isolation
individuals of diffrent species what types of prezygotic barriers
habitat
temporal
behavorial
making zygote attempt what types of prezygotic barriers
mechanical
gametic
temporal
different times diff.species will be open to reproduction
temporal can be as long as
days,season,year
matiing at diffrent times will be
blocking interbreeding
habitat
same geographical area, different habitats
there are a lot of sub habitats so
species don’t come in contact
