AP Biology
Speciation Modes
AP Biology
*Speciation can take place with or without geographic isolation
*Reproductive isolation prevents gene flow between populations, and eventually populations become distinct species.
AP Biology
Allopatric speciation * Can lead to
reproductive
isolation
Populations
geographically
isolated
AP Biology
Sympatric Speciation Speciation is occurring in populations
in same geographic area
How does this happen? Polyploidy Habitat differentiation Sexual selection
AP Biology
Polyploidy Extra sets of chromosomes
AP Biology
Habitat Differentiation Use habitat differently
Ex. Fish population with some individuals using bottom and other fish using the top area
AP Biology
Sexual Selection
