| Front | What happens in sympatric speciation? |
|---|---|
| Back | - mutation causes difference between groups - reproductive separation occurs between groups within population in the same habitat - no gene flow between groups - different selection pressures act on groups - causing natural selection to act differently on groups - different alleles are selected - frequencies of different alleles increase in each group - disruptive natural selection occurs - differences in gene pools accumulate - individuals from different groups are no longer able to interbreed to produce viable fertile offspring - new species have formed in the same habitat as parent species |
