PPT-Speciation What is a species?

Species kind or type in Latin Typological morphological species a group of organisms that share certain characteristics which are different than other groupsusually differences in anatomy . 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. 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. 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. I can…. Distinguish between microevolution and speciation.. Compare the definitions, advantages, and disadvantages of the different species concepts.. Describe five types of prezygotic barriers and three types of postzygotic barriers that prevent populations of closely related species from interbreeding.. Phenetic. species concept. : A species is a set of organisms that look similar to each other and distinct from other sets (Sokal and Crovello 1970)..  . Species definitions. Phenetic. species concept. Concept 22.2: Speciation can take place with or without geographic separation. Speciation can occur in two ways. Allopatric speciation. Sympatric speciation. Allopatric (. “. Other Country. ”. ) Speciation. Section 1 Vocabulary Pretest. Population Genetics. Microevolution. Gene Pool. Allele Frequency. Phenotype Frequency. Total genetic information in a population. Portion of gene copies of a given allele. 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.. Reduction in . gene . flow, genetic and phenotypic change in populations. The study of speciation requires that species be real. Speciation. Speciation is the antidote to sex. Keeps together adaptive groups of traits. 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. (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.. After reading this module you should be able to. Explain . the processes of allopatric and sympatric speciation.. U. nderstand . the factors that affect the pace of . evolution.. Speciation can be allopatric or sympatric. Microevolution to Macroevolution. Biological Species . Reproductive Isolation. A group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring. The existence of biological factors (barriers) that impede members of two species from producing viable, fertile, offspring.
