Biological Species Concept (BSC)

38
Q

when two related organisms can’t bear offspring together, they are now _____ _____

A

individual species

39
Q

set of individuals that reproduce to new individuals similar to themselves

A

reproductive continuity

40
Q

lacks an _____ _____ perspective which is why it is _____

A

evolutionary lineage; non-dimensional

41
Q

if they do not interbreed, they are good species; clear separation

A

sympatric populations

42
Q

difficult to assess whether they are “potentially interbreeding”; less clear

A

allopatric populations

43
Q

groups from an ancestral population evolve into separate species due to a period of geographical separation; geographical isolation

A

allopatric speciation

44
Q

groups from same ancestral population evolve into separate species without any geographical separation; reproductive isolation

A

sympatric speciation

45
Q

reproduction among members of genetically distinct population; common among many groups

A

hybridization

46
Q

the breeding of _____ breaks the rule of BSC

A

ligers (lion & tiger)

47
Q

non-sexual movement of genetic info between genomes; also known as lateral gene transfer

A

48
Q

three types of horizontal gene transfer (TCT)

A

transformation, conjugation and transduction

49
Q

lineage evolving separately from others with its own unitary evolutionary role and tendencies

A

Evolutionary Species Concept (ESC)

50
Q

solves the _____ problem of BSC since its allowed as long it does not affect the evolutionary trajectory

A

hybridization

51
Q

accepts _____ or _____ species which are considered same species

A

clones or clonal

52
Q

brings low genetic diversity since it does not exchange DNA and has no fertilization; has its own evolutionary path/history and is still considered as species

A

vegetative reproduction

53
Q

problems with esc: defining evolutionary _____/_____ is arbitrary

A

independence/delineation

54
Q

pluralism

A

Lazarus species

69
Q

Closely related species which were geographically separated by a physical barrier

A

Vicariant species

70
Q

Biological factors that prevent interbreeding which separates a population and creates a new different species

A

Reproductive Isolating Mechanism

71
Q

Species exist as a result of _______ _______ caused by _______ _______

A

gradual change; natural selection

72
Q

favors certain characteristics in certain environments

A

natural selection

73
Q

True or False: There is a particular point where a population has split into two new species

A

False

74
Q

Describes the role an organism plays which encompasses both physical and environmental conditions as well as interactions with other species

A

Niche

75
Q

Happens before the formation of a zygote which prevents mating from occurring and prevents gametes from forming a zygote

A

Prezygotic Isolating Mechanisms

76
Q

Population is isolated through time since they may breed in different seasons, different times a day and years

A

Temporal isolation

77
Q

Same geographic area but different habitats

A

Habitat Isolation

78
Q

Little or no sexual attraction despite different courtship rituals

A

Behavioral/Ethological Isolation

79
Q

Structural differences which prevent copulation or pollen transfer

A

Mechanical Isolation

80
Q

When sperms cannot fertilize eggs

A

Gametic Isolation

81
Q

Happens after zygote formation which prevents hybrid zygotes from developing into viable, fertile adults

A

Postzygotic Isolating Mechanisms

82
Q

Hybrid zygotes that fail to develop or reach sexual maturity and prezygotic mechanisms are absent which causes interspecific zygotes (fertilization between different species)

A

Reduced hybrid viability

83
Q

Hybrids fail to produce functional gametes

A

Reduced hybrid fertility
