Term
Speciation
Definition
Origin of new species=focal pt. of evolution theory
Term
Microevolution
Definition
change in allele frequency in population
Term
Macroevolution
Definition
broad patterns of evolutionary changes ABOVE the species level
Term
Biological species Concept
Definition
group with potential to interbreed in nature and have fertile BABIES
Term
Reproductive Isolation
Definition
Barriers that prevent 2 species from producing fertile babies
Term
Hybrids
Definition
Baby of 2 different species
Term
Prezygotic Barriers
Definition
Block fertilization that stop diff. specices mate,prevent successful mating, hindered fertilization
Term
Habitat Isolation
Definition
2 species that rarely encounter each other
Term
Behavorial Isolation
Definition
Unique courtship rituals
Term
Temporal Isolation
Definition
Breeding during different times of year,day,month ect.
Term
Mechanical Isolation
Definition
Morphological differences. ex. snails
Term
Gametic Isolation
Definition
Sperm from 1 species UNABLE to fertilize other species
Term
Postzygotic Barriers
Definition
Prevent hybrid zygote from developing properly
Term
Reduced Hybrid Viability
Definition
Impaired hybrid development
Term
Reduced Hybrid Fertility
Definition
Vigorous hybrid=possibly sterile
Term
Hybrid Break Down
Definition
1st generation is fertile but if mated with another species can result in feeble/sterile children
Term
Allopatric Speciation
Definition
Population is divided geographically ISOLATED
-Common
Term
Sympatric Speciation
Definition
Anything but geogrpahic barriers
-rare
Term
Polyploidy
Definition
extra set of chromosomes
common in plants
Term
Allopolypolid
Definition
Multiple sets of chromosomes from different species
Term
Hybrid Zone
Definition
region where species mate and produce hybrids
