the origin of species
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| binomial | system of naming organisms. |
| reproductive barriers | keep species separated |
| reproductive barriers categories | 1. prevent mating or fertilization from taking place(prezygotic barriers) 2. prevent the offspring of an interspecies mating from developing. (postzygotic barriers) |
| prezygotic barrier | prevents mating or fertilization from taking place, so no zygote is ever formed |
| postzygotic barriers | operate after a hybrid zygote has formed. |
| types of prezygotic barriers | 1. temporal isolation 2. habitat isolation 3. behavioral isolation 4. mechanical isolation 5. gametic isolation |
| (prezygotic) temporal isolation | (prezygotic) when two species breed at different times. some animals breed in the spring, others in summer or fall. |
| (prezygotic) habitat isolation | prezygotic - when two species live near one another but in different habitats. one lives in water and other lives in land. |
| (prezygotic) behavioral isolation | prezygotic- when two species have specific mating behaviors that bring males and females together. birds have mating dances that does not attract other members of different species. |
| (prezygotic) mechanical isolation | prezygotic - when sex organs are not compatible. |
| (prezygotic) gametic isolation | mating may take place, but the gametes will not form a zygote. common in plants. |
| types of postzygotic barriers | 1. hybrid inviability 2. hybrid sterility 3. hybrid breakdown |
| (postzygotic) Hybrid inviability | postzygonic - the genes of the parents are not compatible, so zygote wont survive. |
| (postzygotic) hybrid sterility | posyzygonic - the zygote survives but it is sterile. cannot reproduce. |
| allopatric speciation | the process in which geographic isolation leads to reproductive isolation. formations of mountain ranges, volcanic euruptions, damming. |
| sympatric speciation | two population become reproductively isolated even though they still live in the same location. |
| polyploid cell | has more than 2 complete sets of chromosomes. |
| sympatric speciation by polyploidy | 1.diploid parent cell should divide by meiosis to create haploid gametes. instead, it divides by meiosis. 2.diploid 2n gametes are produced. 3.triploid 3n offspring is produced which is sterile. 4.self-fertilizes,a tetraplod 4n offspring new species |
| adaptive radiation | has occurred when a single common ancestor gives rise to many new species that exploit different ecological niches. |
