What is Embryology? C 500

This may happen if a species lacks the variations necessary to adapt to a changing environment.

What is Die and Become Extinct?

(ex: Eastern and Western Meadowlarks) Two populations are capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other reproductive strategies that involve behavior. (ex: Eastern and Western Meadowlarks) D 200

What is Behavioral Isolation? D 200

Two populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or other bodies of water. D 300

What is Geographic Isolation? D 300

This happens when a population is separated and has low gene flow, which eventually results in 2 different species D 400

What is Speciation? D 400
