Question
Answer
_______ as bridge between microevolution and macroevolution   speciation  
🗑
microevolution   evolution within population  
🗑
macroevolution   evolutionary change above species level, differential speciation, mass extinction  
🗑
speciation   process by which one genetically cohesive population splits into two or more reproductively isonlated populations  
🗑
Biological species concept   Ernst Mayr - defines species as "groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups"  
🗑
limitations of Biological species concept   cannot be directly applied to <br /> - asexual organisms <br /> - fossils <br /> - organisms about which little is known regarding their reproduction  
🗑
Difference between: Morphological, paleontological and phylogenetic species concept   Morphological - species is defined on basis of being sufficiently morphologically (anatomically distinct from others) <br /> - Paleontological - focused on morphologically discreet species known only from fossil record<br /> - Phylogenetic - common ancest  
🗑
Stages in speciation process: be able to recognize correct sequence   1. single reproductively-cohesive pop.<br />2. Barier to gene flow splits pop into 2 or + isolated pop<br />3. populations grad. diverge<br/>4. reproductive isolating mechanisms evolve<br />5. members incapable of interbreeding<br />6. separate species  
🗑
Geography of speciation: allopatric versus parapatric versus sympatric speciation   allopatric - most common, lease controversial, geographic separation of populations (vicariance, dispersal and colonization)<br />parapatric- evolution of reproductive isolation between adjacent pop. <br />sympatric - speciation within single locality  
🗑
Allopatric speciation through vicariance: how and examples   - emergence of geographic barrier that divides previously continuous population <br /> - evolution of reproductive isolating mechanisms between populations that are geographically separate (ex: formation of grand canyon w squirrels, Panama isthus)  
🗑
Allopatric speciation through dispersal and colonization: how and examples   rare dispersl event results in colonization of isolated habitat (i.e. offshore islands) ex (galapagos finches, hawaiian drosophila)  
🗑
Secondary contact, reinforcement   <br />reinforcement- if reproductive isolating mechanisms not complete, secondary contact may result (and cause hybridization/possible reunification of gene pool) BUT if hybrid have lower fitness, leads to reinforcement (selection for assortive mating)  
🗑
reproductive character displacement   species in sympatry show greater differences in mating-stage isolating mechanisms than same species in allopatry (see images)  
🗑
Parapatric speciation: how and examples   species along side, occours in absence of obvious geographic barrier, may occur when sharp environ. discontinuity developes (ex. plants grow in mine tailings flower at different times than plants growing in surrounding pastures in wales)  
🗑
Sympatric speciation:   speciation without geographic separation. Fairly common in plants  
🗑
speciation- allopolyploidy   duplication of combination of chromosomes from different species  
🗑
speciation - autopolyploidy   duplication of chromosome set of single species  
🗑
haploid   one set of chromosomes  
🗑
Apple maggot fly as example of sympatric speciation in animals   hawthorne -> apple, affinity for host plant in which they developed (leads to breading only with flies only on that fruit)  
🗑
Prezygotic reproductive isolating mechanisms: know definition and recognize examples   - before fertilization<br /><br />- mechanisms that impede mating between species or hinder fertilization of ova if members of different species do mate  
🗑
Postzygotic reproductive isolating mechanisms: know definition and recognize examples   - After fertilization <br /><br /> - Mechanisms that act to reduce the viability or fertility of hybrids  
🗑
Haldane’s rule (of speciation): what is it and what is evidence for it   In hybrids produced by interpopulation or interspecies crosses, the heterogametic sex is more likely to be inviable or infertile<br /> In mamals and most insects males XY, but in birds, butterflies and moths, female ZW (heterogametic), = sterile/inviable  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
