Anthro 101 Speciation

ASSIGNMENT:
Select one form of SPECIATION and share your rendition of this process of speciation. Once again you are creating a scenario so remember what that is!!!!
How you teach us the steps of the process of speciation that you selected is up to you
You can upload a drawing you have made or you can list the steps that occur.
Once again mutation which provides variation is at the heart of the process.
Mutation is the engine that runs evolutionary change.
IF VARIATION IS NOT PRESENT IN THE ORIGINAL POPULATION THERE IS NO VARIETY AVAILABLE TO ADAPT TO THE NEW ENVIRONMENT AFTER THE CHANGE IN THE HABITAT OCCURS .
IF YOU SAY THAT THE CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT MAKES A MUTATION HAPPEN YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT – BECAUSE THIS IS NOT CORRECT. MUTATIONS OCCUR RANDOMLY – NOT ON DEMAND
Make sure your account for this in your rendition.
By this I mean, you must show that a mutation has randomly occurred in the species prior to any other steps occurring. Once again showing the steps in the process is what is important here.
Create a scenario with the steps in an example of speciation.
These are the types of speciation. JUST choose one for your scenario
Allopatric speciation is just a fancy name for speciation by geographic isolation, this means a river or mountain erupts to split a population so gene flow stops between them.
Pediatric speciation is a special version of the allopatric speciation model and happens when one of the isolated populations has very few individuals.
Sympatric speciation does not require large-scale geographic distance to reduce gene flow between parts of a population. Merely exploiting a new niche may automatically reduce gene flow with individuals exploiting the other niche. So for ex a population of a species of fish gets isolated from one another in terms of breeding because some stay on the top of the water and some only stay deep down in the ocean
In parapatric speciation, Individuals are more likely to mate with their geographic neighbors than with individuals in a different part of the population’s range.
Review this resource to make sure you understand the processes of speciation.

******Include the terms reproductive isolation and gene flow and make sure you demonstrate that you know what they mean correctly.
Make sure you have read the textbook on SPECIATION
