Members of a population that are morphologically similar and can reproduce to make fertile offspring.

Q.
isolation of a population based on a physical barrier where two different populations occupy different habitats and therefore will not cross paths to mate
24
30 sec
Q.
isolation of a population that prevents mating success where certain behaviors (mating call, coloration, dance, etc) is what attracts one member of the species to another to encourage mating events

Q.
a structure that several species share because they all share a common ancestor; evidence of divergent evolution
28
30 sec
Q.
a structure that exists in two populations not because they are closely related but rather because they live in similar environments with similar environmental pressures
29
30 sec
Q.
a structure that no longer serves a function necessary for survival; an evolutionist would argue that it is left over from our evolutionary past - that the common ancestor of the species needed that structure for survival

Q.
A form of natural selection in which individuals with certain inherited characteristics are more likely than other individuals to obtain mates.
