Main Topics:
Can you compare and contrast stabilizing, directional, and disruptive selection, and give examples of each?
Can you explain how evolution continually occurs in populations?
Can you describe how new species arise from reproductive isolation?
Can you explain the effects of speciation and extinction on ecosystems?
Can you define prezygotic and postzygotic reproductive isolating mechanisms and give an example of each?
Can you explain how polyploidy can lead to a new species, particularly in plants?
Can you compare and contrast allopatric and sympatric speciation?
