Does a rugged mountain terrain have a high or low rate of speciation?
A rugged mountain terrain would have a high rate of speciation because mountain would prevent organisms from interacting; hence, gene flow would stop.
Why would a rough steep mountain habitat have a higher rate of speciation than large open grasslands habitat?
The mountain would prevent organisms from interacting
What effect would a very short generation time such as bacteria have on speciation?
Well they would evolve faster, so speciation would occur faster too
A population of animals is split in half by a river. Before speciation is completed the two halves are rejoined when a drought causes the river to run dry how would this impact the two populations?
the gene flow would increase (apex)orGene flow would increase between the two halves, and speciation would not occur.
What are the 5 steps to Speciation?
There are no discrete steps to speciation. There are a number of boundary conditions that are met in most cases. Speciation is the result of any situation that leads to the genetic, behavioural and/or morphological divergence of subpopulations of the same species, which may in turn lead to a decline in interbreeding frequency. The causes for such divergence may vary. The clearest example of the principle is when two subpopulations become geographically isolated (for instance due to migration, floods or some other natural event), and diverge as a result of genetic drift. Once the two population have diverged to the degree that they would no longer produce fertile offspring together even if they were put back together again, we say that speciation has occurred.

Can you use 62mm wheels in street skating?
Because of the rugged terrain (usually) in street skateboarding, i would prefer using 62mm.
Why would a rough steep mountain habitat have a higher rate of speciation than a large open glass Habitat?
The mountain would insolate subgroups of the population.
What three kinds terrain would a caravan cross when traveling from Istanbul to Xian?
Mountain, Deserts & Ocean/Sea
If a layer of the crust pushed up which of the following changes in the terrain would one expect to see?
the formation of a mountain range

Speciation caused by the break of the continents would be by?
allopatry
Why mountain trees short?
They have evolved this way as mountain terrain does not allow them to grow big, the stony mountain ground does not allow for a strong root system therefore large or tall trees would fall over without an extensive and strong root system to support them.
In which area would a population be geographically isolated?
An Island
