| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Formation of new species | Speciation |
| Separation of species or populations so that they can't interbreed and produce fertile offspring | Reproductive Isolation |
| Form of reproductive isolation in which 2 populations are capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other reproductive strategies that involve behavior | Behavioral Isolation |
| Form of reproductive isolation in which 2 populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water | Geographic Isolation |
| Form of reproductive isolation in which 2 or more species reproduce at different times | Temporal Isolation |
| Large-scale of evolutionary changes that take place over long periods of time | Macroevolution |
| Process of a single species or a small group of species evolving into diverse forms that live in different ways | Adaptive Radiation |
| Process by which unrelated organisms come to to resemble one another | Convergent Evolution |
| Process by which 2 species evolve in response to changes in each other over time | Coevolution |
| Pattern of long, stable periods interrupted by brief periods of more rapid change | Punctuated equilibrium |
