Summary Introduction

To describe: Two mechanisms in sympatric populations which decrease the gene flow and making sympatric population most likely to occur.

Concept introduction:

In “sympatric speciation”, different species formed in populations living in the same geographical area. In this condition, reproductive barriers occur by the factors such as, “polyploidy, sexual selection, and habitat differentiation” which ultimately reduces gene flow.

Explain the difference in behaviors of temporally isolated species when it comes to Allopatric vs Sympatric speciation.
Decide whether each of the following scenarios would lead to prezygotic or postzygotic reproductive isolation: a) Dragonflies from two different populations have genitals that do not match, so they can't mate successfully [Select ] b) Two different species of fish have very different courtship displays, but they can mate and produce a non-fertile offspring [Select] c) One species of plant flowers in the winter, while another flowers in early spring [ Select ] d) The gametes of two tree species can fuse, but a zygote does not form [ Select ] e) A mountain range separates two populations of snakes I Select]
Which of the following statements about sympatric speciation is correct?     It is a process through which two populations can diverge and develop reproductive isolation while in two different geographic area.     It is the most common mechanism for populations to form independent species.     Postzygotic isolation is the main form of reproductive isolation for the sympatric speciation process.     Genetic isolation through large scale chromosomal mutations, such as chromosome inversion or polyploidy, are more likely contributing to sympatric speciation.     None of the above
