Bio 101 Exam 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is extinction? | When all of its members have died |
| What are the two types of reproductive barriers? | Prezygotic and Postzygotic |
| What are examples of prezygotic barriers? | Habitat isolation, temporal isolation, behavioral isolation, mechanical isolation, gametic isolation |
| What are examples of post zygotic barriers? | Hybrid inviability, hybrid infertility, hybrid break |
| What is gradualism? | Species evolved in small, incremental changes, slanted lines |
| What is punctuated equilibrium? | Species evolved rapidly and have straight horizontal lines |
| What is sympatric speciation? | Some populations diverge genetically even while living together |
| What is allopatric speciation? | There is no contact between the 2 groups, with no gene transfer between the 2, their allele frequencies become more and more distinct |
| What are the 2 main causes of mass extinction? | Impact theory/collision theory and shifting land masses |
| What do meteors do? | They create dust, block sunlight, and plants and species die |
| On an evolution tree what does gradualism and punctuated equilibrium look like? | Gradualism-small angles & Punctuated Equilibrium-horizontal lines |
| When is speciation likely to result? | If 2 populations of a species live in separate habitats and they cannot interbreed |
