Question 1

Species

Answer 1

A group of living organism consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding

Question 2

Speciation

Answer 2

Process by which new species arise

Question 2

Biological species concept

Answer 2

A group of organisms that can successfully interbreed and produce fertile offspring

Question 3

Types of speciation

Answer 3

Allopatric, Sympatric, Adaptive radiation, cladogenesis, anagenesis, punctuated equilibrium, and gradualism.

Question 4

Cladogenesis

Answer 4

A species splits into 2 or more daughter species

Question 5

Anagenesis

Answer 5

Change within a particular linage over time

Question 6

Allopatric speciation

Answer 6

Speciation that occurs when biological populations of the same species become isolated due to geographical changes.

Question 7

What effects work under allopatric speciation?

Answer 7

Founder effect, Vicariance Effect, Loss or intermediates

Question 8

Founder effect

Answer 8

Form of genetic drift where a small group of dispersers colonize and area and that new population may or may not be representative of the older population.

Question 9

Vicariance effect

Answer 9

Ancestral population is split apart by barriers

Question 10

Loss of intermediates

Answer 10

Extinction of connecting populations

Question 11

Sympatric speciation

Answer 11

Form of speciation where a new species evolves from a single ancestral species while in having the same geographical area.

Question 12

Adaptive radiation

Answer 12

Represents closely related species all descended from a common ancestor, each adapted to a particular environment.

Question 13

Punctuated Equilibrium

Answer 13

Changes are abrupt and happen all at once

Question 14

Gradualism

Answer 14

Change is slow and continuous over time

Question 15

What are the two forms of reproductive isolating mechanisms?

Answer 15

Pre and post zygotic

Question 16

What is a prezygotic reproductive isolating mechanism

Answer 16

Reduces the change of a zygote forming

Question 17

What is a post zygotic reproductive isolating mechanism

Answer 17

Reduces the fitness of the hybrid organism.

Question 18

What are the 5 fingers of evolution?

Answer 18

Genetic Drift, gene flow, mutations, non-random mating, and natural selection

Question 19

Phenotype plasticity

Answer 19

Property of organisms to produce distinct phenotypes in response to environmental variation

Question 20

Epigentics

Answer 20

How the environment you interact with will interact with the genes you express.
