Darwin vs Lamarck

Darwin LamarckVariation Use and disuse

Inheritance Transmission of acquired characteristics

Differential survival Increasing complexity

Extinction No 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

Allopatric Speciation

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
