PPT-Mode of speciation continued…………….

Unit 10 species concept Sympatric speciation Sympatric speciation from the Greek same place involves the splitting of an ancestral species into two or more reproductively isolated groups without geographical isolation of those groups. speciation. Miss Amy Heeraman Form 5 Biology Friday 30. th. January 2015. VIDEO . . INTRODUCTION. Look at the video.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2vsG77PZ80. – video 1 on speciation. VIDEO DISCUSSION. What is a Species?. Speciation. – the origin of new species. The . biological species concept. defines a species as a population or group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed with one another in nature to produce viable, fertile offspring, but who cannot produce viable, fertile offspring with members of other species. 8.7. Starter. What is speciation?. The evolution of new species from existing species.. Learning Objectives. Define speciation. Describe geographical isolation. Explain how geographical isolation can lead to the formation of new species. Evolution. Speciation Basics. Individuals of different species cannot . interbreed. under natural conditions . Described as being . reproductively isolated . from one another. Populations of different species do . Brian O. ’. Meara. EEB464 Fall . 2015. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lopTMhAbXoI. Initiation of speciation. Maintenance of current species. Prezygotic. Postzygotic. Zygote image © Laboratoire de Biologie de la Reproduction; Lausanne, image downloaded from . The rise and fall of biodiversity. Four major mass extinctions of marine organisms:. End of Silurian Devonian, Permian, and Cretaceous). Rise in diversity during Cambrian, Silurian, Cretaceous, and Paleogene. Species. – group of organisms that interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Subspecies. – groups that are on the way to being separate species; have started being genetically different. Individuals in the same species share a common gene pool. Sympatric Speciation. Sympatric Speciation occurs . without. geographic isolation, thus it occurs at a local level. . There is something within the environment that keeps a single species separated into two or more distinct groups.. Learning Goal: . To explore the factors leading to the evolution of a new species. . Success Criteria:. I know I am succeeding when I can… . define the concept of speciation. identify the modes of speciation. What defines a species?. Species: a group of organisms that can . interbreed. and produce . fertile. offspring. “Biological Species Concept” . Human species?. Homo sapiens – “wise man” (large brains!). I. Species Definitions. Species represent the boundary for the spread of alleles . and define the unit in which the modes of evolution operate. Biological Species Concept. Individuals belong to the same species if they can interbreed with each other. In evolutionary terms a . species . is a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring; they do not breed successfully with other . Science. Lesson 8: challenge answer. Investigate and make note of other species that have evolved due to parapatric speciation. . Typically seen in species of fish.. Learning intention. To know what sympatric speciation is and how it occurs. . Avneet. Singh, Steven . Ancheta. , Giovanni . Corralhejo. , Katie . Laackmann. Definition. Origin of new species in evolution. There are two general modes of speciation. Allopatric. speciation. Sympatric speciation.
