What type of isolation occurs when the timing of reproduction is different between two populations?
Temporal My Boy !
At what point are two populations descending from the same ancestors considered separate species?
When they have reproductive isolation. This happens when either physical or biological barriers prevent reproduction between the two populations. At that point, their mix of genes will be significantly different that they will be considered two new species.
Why is isolation important in evolution?
It is the reproductive isolation between populations that allows divergence between populations, and ultimately speciation, to occur. Often this reproductive isolation is the result of geographical isolation, for instance when part of a population migrates to new territories.
How do isolation and natural selection result in new species?
Isolation prevents mating between the populations and in time different mutations will accumulate in each population so much that they will no longer be able to mate. The inability to interbreed is one of the definitions of different species.
Why does geographic isolation cause speciation (Apex)?
it prevents gene flow between populations
The term reproductive isolation mechanism refers to?
a blockage of gene flow between populations
What is the difference between geographic isolation and habitat differentiation?
Geographic isolation is when a population is separated by a river/canyon or some impassable terrain. Habitat isolation is when members of a population live in a different type of habitat, say some live in the forest at the bottom of the mountain, while others live further up the mountain. These would then become different populations and evolve to perhaps form two different species.
After what would specialization most likely take place between two populations?
Isolation as a result of any reason that stops interchange of genes with other populations - that could be a large expanse of water, a mountain range, division of habitat with no suitable habitat between, volcanic activity, etc etc etc. . Geographic isolation takes place.
What are reproductive barriers?
There are two general categories of reproductive isolating mechanisms: prezygotic, or those that take effect before fertilization, and postzygotic, those that take effect afterward. Prezygotic RIMs prevent the formation of hybrids between members of different populations through ecological, temporal, ethological (behavioral), mechanical, and gametic isolation.
The taxon species may be defined by reproductive isoloation and?
The taxon species can be defined by reproductive isolation, which refers to the barrier that stops individuals from different species from producing viable offspring. This isolation can occur through mechanisms like behavioral, temporal, or genetic differences that prevent successful mating or offspring production between populations.
What is the long term effect of interrupting the gene flow between 2 populations of the same species?
you get genetic isolation,leading to evolution of separate,but similar races.
What is the different between computer cell and biological cell?
