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
2 species encounter each other rarely, or not at all, because they occupy different habitats, even thougj not isolated by physical barriers
Habitat Isolation
Lower the probability of mating
Habitat Isolation
Species that breed at different times of the day, different seasons, or different years cannot mix their gametes
Temporal isolatiom
Differences on timing on reproductive event
Temporal isolatiom
Courtship rituals and other behaviors unique to a soecies are effective barriers
Behavioral isolation
Morphological differences can prevent succesful mating
Mechanical Isolation
Sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize eggs of another species
Gametic Isolation
Prevent the hybrid zygote from developing into a viable , fertile adult
Postzygotic barriers
3 effects or types of postzygotic barriers
Reduced Hybrid Viability
Reduced hybrid fertility
Hybrid breakdown
Genes of different parent may intearct and impair the hybrids development(may produced a weak offspring)
Reduced hybrid viability
Even if hybrid are vigorous, they may be sterile(cannot produxe offspring
Reduced hybrid fertility
Some first generation hybrids are fertile, but when they mate with another species or with either oarent species, offspring of tge next generation are feeble or sterile(cannot prpduce 3rd generation)
Hybrid breakdown
It cannnot be applied to fossils or asexual organisms inclyding all prokaryotes
Biological species concept
When this was made, it has not yet be en studied on nature before
Biological species concept
It down ray the natural selection
Biological species concept
5 other species concept
-morphological species concept
-Ecological species concept
-Phylogenetic speciès concept
-Evolutionary species concept
-Recognition species concept
It emphasize the unity within a species rather than separateness of different species
Species concept
Defines specis by structural features
Applies to sexual and asexual species but relies on subjective criteria
Morphological species concept
4 problems/term that may encounter on the morphological species concept
Sibling species
Sexual dimorphism
Polymorphism
Monogamous
