7731418615 | Reproductive Isolation | the end of gene flow between populations. | 1 | |
7731426073 | Temporal Isolation | Populations breeding times are different. | 2 | |
7731432558 | Mechanical Isolation | Reproductive organs do not work together. | 3 | |
7731445708 | Ecological Isolation | Separated by area. | 4 | |
7731449159 | Behavioral Isolation | reproduction does not happen between two organisms whose mating rituals are different. | 5 | |
7731467288 | Hybrid Sterility | Species that can mate together but the resulting offspring are sterile. | 6 | |
7731475007 | Hybrid Inviability | A resulting zygote that has missing or extra genes. | 7 | |
7731484130 | Gamete Incompatibility | molecular differences that prevent a zygote from forming. | 8 | |
7731498104 | Allopatric Speciation | A physical barrier arises and separates two populations, ending gene flow. | 9 | |
7731513047 | sympatric speciation | speciation occurs in the absence of a physical barrier to gene flow. | 10 | |
7731526680 | parapatric speciation | adjacent populations speciate despite being in contact along a common border. | 11 | |
7731544016 | adaptive radiation | a burst of genetic divergences from a lineage give rise to many new species. | 12 | |
7731557752 | coevolution | the joint evolution of two closely interacting species; each species is a selective agent for traits of the other. | 13 | |
