allopatric speciation

Cards (7)

  • when will allopatric speciation occur

    due to geographical isolation
  • what is allopatric speciaion
    this is speciation caused by physical barriers
  • give an example of geographical isolation
    physical barriers such as rivers or mountain ranges
  • what will a physical barrier cause the population to split into
    two separate demes
  • what will cause different allele frequencies to form between each deme
    different selective pressures
  • what is the first step of allopatric speciation
    the initial population will be split in 2 due to a physical barrier
  • what happens after the population has been split in two in allopatric speciation
    mutations and different selection pressures will cause changes in the population
