Slide 1
Autopolyploid Speciation
Note: Autopolyploid contains 2X
the amount of Chromosomes than
original species
Allows the formation of a new species from one parental plant.

Slide 1
Allopolyploid Speciation
Step 1
Note: Allopolyploid contains the
sum total the chromosomes of the 2
parental species 4 + 6 + 10
Allows the formation of a new species of plant with starting
with 2 different plants of different chromosome number

Slide 1
The Gradualism Model
of Evolution
Many slow
changes over
time form a
new species
The Punctuated Equilibrium
Model of Evolution
New species emerge
quickly (punctuated) but
change little over long
periods (equilibrium)

Habitat
Populations
in different
habitats do
not interact
Temporal
Mating or
flowering
in different
times

Slide 1
Possible Outcomes for Hybrids in a Hybrid Zone
Strengthening reproductive
barriers…hybrids cease to
form
Weakening reproductive
barriers…the 2 species fuse
Continued production
of hybrid individuals
