gene pools | all alleles present in a species |
biological species concept | "...groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups." |

reproductive isolating mechanisms | prevent genetic exchange between organisms |
prezygotic isolating mechanisms | prevent the formation of zygotes |
pheromones | chemical signals |
reinforcement | improvement of isolating mechanisms resulting in complete reproductive isolation |
polyploidy | produces individuals that have more than two sets of chromosomes |
autoploidy | all of the chromosomes come from a single species |
allopolyploidy | two species hybridize |
adaptive radiation | groups of closely related species that have recently evolved from a common ancestor and have adapted to their environments |
key innovation | evolves within a species allowing it to use resources that it couldnt use before |
