Mechanism of evolution developed by darwin, based on four ideas excess reproduction, variations, inheritance, and the advantages of specific traits in an environment
The formation of new species in populations that are geographically isolated from one another.
process in which individuals with average traits are removed creating two populations with extreme traits
new feature that had not appeared in common ancestors
change in the frequency of a trait based on the ability to attract a mate
allelic frequencies in populations stay the same unless they are affected by a factor that causes change
mechanisms that operate after fertilization to ensure that the resulting hybrid remains infertile.
most common form of natural selection in which organisms with extreme expressions of a trait are removed
