Introduction
Speciation is the evolutionary process leading to the formation of a new species.
Populations first need to be isolated from each other so that gene pools can diverge.
The isolated populations develop different characteristics & eventually will no longer be able to breed with each other.

What is meant by a Gene Pool?
The total of all the different genes in a population is the gene pool.
![Page 6: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
What is meant by a Gene Pool?
As long as the population is large and mating is random then the gene pool is considered stable.
Gene frequency is the frequency of occurrence of an allele of a gene in a population.
![Page 7: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
How does a gene pool change?
Any changes to gene frequency will change the gene pool.
These include:1. Mutation2. Natural selection3. Gene migration4. Non-random mating5. Genetic drift6. Chance
![Page 8: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
How does a gene pool change?
1. MutationNew alleles appear & are reshuffled
during meiosis when chromosomes cross-over & are independently associated to each other.
![Page 9: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
How does a gene pool change?
2. Natural selectionThe frequency of an allele increases
in a population if it provides a selective advantage.
![Page 10: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
How does a gene pool change?
3. Gene migrationThis is when alleles move between
populations by individuals arriving from a different population & breeding.
These individuals could have a different gene pool and so introduce new alleles into the population.
![Page 11: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
How does a gene pool change?
3. Gene migrationHowever, continual gene flow
decreases the differences between the gene pools of populations.
![Page 12: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
How does a gene pool change?
4. Non-random matingThis increases the number of homozygous
individuals (but does not change the frequency of the alleles)
Inbreeding is a common form of this.In humans this can increase the chances of
the offspring inheriting a disease caused by a homozygous recessive genotype (e.g. cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anaemia)
![Page 13: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
How does a gene pool change?
5. Genetic driftThis tends to occur in small
populations- small populations isolated from each other can vary greatly from each other.
![Page 14: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
How does a gene pool change?
6. ChanceChanges to an allele frequency can
occur due to random loss.e.g. an individual possessing a certain
allele my die or fail to reproduce.
![Page 15: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
How does a new species arise?
Speciation is the formation of a new species.
Evolution is the mechanism by which speciation occurs and involves changes to the genotype & phenotype.
These changes enable the organism to better exploit the environment.

Stages in Speciation
There are 6 stages.
Stage 1 A large interbreeding population of
one species exists- sharing the same gene pool.
![Page 17: Higher Biology Speciation. 2 By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain what a species is Know what is meant by a gene pool Know what happens](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514dd2255034693478b559c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Stage 2 A barrier separates the population
into 2 isolated sub-populations.Barriers can be:

Stages in Speciation
Stage 3 Random mutations in each sub-
population give rise to new variation within each group (but not shared by both groups)

Stage 4 Different selection pressures act on
each sub-population depending on local conditions like:
Climate Predators Disease.

26
Stages in Speciation
Stage 4 Natural selection affects each sub-
group in a different way, by favouring the alleles that allow the individuals to better exploit their environment.

27
Stages in Speciation
Stage 5 Over a very very long time……Stages 3 & 4 cause the two gene
pools to become so altered that the groups become genetically distinct & isolated.

28
Stages in Speciation
Stage 6 If the original barrier is removed,
the two sub-populations are no longer able to interbreed (since their chromosomes are no longer able to form homologous pairs).
There are now 2 separate distinct species.
Speciation has occurred!
