Verified Answers
Q1: Speciation
A: produces new and distinct forms of life
Q2: Species Plot
A: a graphical representation of an individuals traits
Q3: Biological Species Concept
A: members of the same species are capable of reproducing together, whereas members of
different species are incapable of producing offspring together
Q4: Morphospecies Concept
A: holds that members of the same species usually look alike, either at the anatomical or
molecular level
Q5: Ecological Species Concept
A: defines a species by the habitat and resources it uses

A: members of a species all share a common ancestry and a common fate
Q7: Vicariance
A: derived speciation, change in physical environment causes change
Q8: Peripatric Speciation
A: small groups of individuals break off from the larger group and form a new species

A: evolution of a new species from a surviving ancestral species while both continue to
inhabit the same geographic region

A: natural selection increases the reproductive isolation between two populations of
species

A: species separates into two separate groups that are isolated from one another
Q15: Hybridization
A: Transfer of genetic material between similar species
Occurs in Plants more than animals
Acts against progeny
