UNIT 3 Flashcards
Where did Darwin exactly discover the plants and animals that are nowhere to be found on earth
In Santa Cruz Island in Galapagos Island
How many island does galapagos does
12/13 island
The orgin of new species, at the focal point of evolutionary theory
Speciation
Explain how new species orginate and how populations evolve
Evolutionary theory
Change in allele in a particular population
Microevolution
Consists of adaptations that evolve within a population, confined to one gene pool
Microevolution
Evolutipmary chnage above the species level
Macroevolution
Species is a latin word meaning ____ and ____
Kind
Appearance
How biologists group organism/species
Based on their
Morphology
Physiology
Biochemistry
DNA Sequences
3 things that constitutes a species
-Capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring
-Reproductively isolated from other such groups
-Fundamentally similar in structures
Explain Biological species concpet
It is about the capability of a population to interbreed and produce a viable and fertile offspring.
The similarities between different species
Diversity with a species
Group of individuals of the same species
Population
They are defined by the capacity to interbreed
Human
Results from The breeding of population to another population
New species
Transfer of allele, holds the phenotype of population together
Gene flow
Combination of gene in a reproducing population
Gene pool
Existence of biological factors(barriers) that impede 2 species from producing viable fertile offspring
To limit hybrid
Reproductive isolation
T/F
Same species breed with soecies create speciation
False, it does not create speciation
Offspring of corsses between different species
Hybrids
It is classified by wether factors act before or after fertilization
Reproductive isolation
2 types of barriers
Prezygotic barriers
Postzygotic barriers
It block fertilization from occuring
Prezygotic barrier
Explain prezygotic barrier
Impede different species from attempting to mate
Preventing the successful completion of mating
Hinder fertilization if mating is succesful
5 types of prezygotic barriers
Habitat Isolation
Temporal Isolation
Behavioral Isolation
Mechanical Isolation
Gametic Isolation
