biological species

Model by which new species arise when gene flow is disrupted between two populations, genetic changes accumulate, and the populations are subsequently unable to mate and produce viable offspring

Reproductive isolation

Model by which new species arise when gene flow is disrupted between two populations, genetic changes accumulate, and the populations are subsequently unable to mate and produce viable offspring.

Model that proposes that new species arise due to an interruption of gene flow between populations that are separated geographically

Alloploidy

Occurs when two different but related species of plants hybridize

Speciation

Origin of new species due to the evolutionary process of descent with modification

Rapid evolution of several species from a common ancestor into new ecological or geographical zones

Temporal Isolation

Several related species can live in the same locale, but if each reproduces at a different time of year, they do not attempt to mate

Convergent evolution

Similarity in structure in distantly related groups generally due to similiar selective pressures in like environments.

The presence of short spines in bottom-dwelling fish can be traced to a reduction in the development of the pelvic-fin bud in the embryo, and this reduction is due to the altered expression of a gene called...

Gradualistic model

This model proposes that speciation occurs after populations become isolated, with each group continuing slowly on its own evolutionary pathway

punctuated equilibrium model

This model says that the assembly of species in the fossil record can be explained by periods of equilibrium, or stasis, punctuated (interrupted) by periods of rapid, abrupt speciation, or change
