Understanding Speciation and Its Mechanisms

 Correct answers must indicate an understanding of the content vocabulary. Understanding can be demonstrated by defining the content vocabulary or by using the terms in context that implies the definition.

Question 1

Short answer

What is speciation and how does it occur within a single population of organisms?

Question 2

Short answer

Describe the role of geographic isolation in the speciation process.

Question 3

Short answer

How can reproductive isolation lead to the formation of new species?

Question 4

Short answer

Explain the concept of adaptive radiation and how it can result in multiple new species from a common ancestor.

Question 5

Short answer

Discuss the impact of genetic drift on speciation in small populations.
