Darwin vs Lamarck and Speciation LT 8 – I can contrast Darwin and Lamarck’s ideas about changes in organisms over time. LT 9 – I can describe the conditions required to be considered a species.
Darwin vs Lamarck DarwinLamarck VariationUse and disuse InheritanceTransmission of acquired characteristics Differential survivalIncreasing complexity ExtinctionNo extinction
Speciation is the formation of a new species A species is a group of organisms that are closely related and that can produce fertile offspring. Speciation can begin with the separation of populations of the same species. Speciation
Accumulated differences between populations is called divergence and can lead to a formation of a new species. Two types of Speciation Allopatric Speciation Sympatric Speciation Speciation
Occurs when a species separate into two separate groups that are isolated from each other. Physical Barrier Also known as geographical isolation Impossible to breed with one another Allopatric Speciation
Occurs when there is not a barrier to prevent members of a species from mating with another. Close proximity Also known as reproductive isolation Something seems to develop spontaneously Sympatric Speciation
