1
New cards

define speciation

the development of a new species

2
New cards

how does speciation occur

populations become reproductively isolated

3
New cards

how does allopatric speciation occor

geographical isolation

4
New cards

how does sympatric speciation occur 

reproductive isolation with out a physical barrier 

5
New cards

describe how a new species forms during allopatric speciation

each population experiences different condition & selectional pressures

cause a different allele frequency

directional selection occurs

6
New cards

describe how a new species forms during sympatric speciation

random mutations prevent interbreeding within a population

7
New cards

what are the 3 ways reproductive isolation can occur

seasonal

mechanical

behavioural

8
New cards

how does genetic drift lead to speciation

chance dictates which organisms survive and reproduce to pass on alleles

9
New cards

how has evolution lead to diversity of organism

millions of year of speciation

population divide and new populations form new species
