How are speciation and reproductive isolation related?
For speciation to occur, one population must diverge genetically from another. Divergence is very difficult if the two populations exchange genes readily between them. A short rule of thumb to remember is:Populations which exchange genes are more alike genetically than those that don't.This means, in order to diverge genetically from one another, there must be some barriers, or reproductive isolation, to gene flow between them. When there are these barrier to gene flow, each population can accumulate different mutations and combinations of alleles independently of the other, thus diverging genetically.
What are three factors lead to speciation?
Genetic drift. MutationsNatural selection.Gene recombinationGene flow (immigration and emigration)
What is the natural barrier agains germs?
skin, tears, mucus, cilia, stomach acid, urine flow, 'friendly' bacteria and white blood cells called neutrophils.
What kind of selection can result in speciation?
Natural selection seems to be the only selection that can drive speciation with powerful adaptive change. Sexual selection seems to stay within the species and both gene flow and genetic drift do not seem to drive speciation very well.

Which increase speciation?
Geographic isolation Low geneflow.
How does reproductive isolation causes speciation?
It reduces gene flow.
What is the role of gene flow in speciation?
None. Gene flow between two groups of the same population tends to stabilize alleles, or one way gene flow tends to not change allele frequency enough for speciation. The only speciation driver we know of is natural selection working on two allopatic species separately. Different populations, due to this geographic separation, can speciated, but gene flow between them, whatever the direction, will tend to bring things to a stability, or to a situation that is not enough for speciation.
What is one of the main causes of speciation?
geographic isolation and the reduction of gene flow
Why does geographic isolation cause speciation (Apex)?
it prevents gene flow between populations
What is the most important factor that holds a gene pool together and prevents speciation?
gene flow
What affect do humans have on speciation?
As part of the environment of other organisms humans can have great effects on speciation. Especially adaptive radiation. As we contribute heavily to the extinction of some species other species flow into those open niches and radiate outwards to possible speciation.
What do barrier islands form as a result of?
Barrier islands form as the result of wave or tidal flow parallel to a coastline.
What type of barrier is built to contain the flow of water?
a dam
