Interbreed

... Weinberg equation by having genotype frequencies that one would not expect from the allele frequencies. This effect is evened back out when the F1 interbreed to produce the F2 generation. The F2 has genotype frequencies that one would expect from the allele frequencies. I understand that this happened, ...

... clear that one is necessary. After reading more on this particular example, it seems that there are many different populations, some of which can interbreed with each other and some of which cannot (similar to ring species), and that it is therefore difficult to assign species identifiers to any ...

... and preserve natural selection as the filter. We know that these cavefish (for example) are the same species as their surface relatives. They can interbreed, and yet they are arguing mutation has not caused the difference, even though it was the initial cause of the species arriving in the first ...

... for me is that I should be asking myself whether or not the two possibly divereged species could produce viable fertile offspring if they were to interbreed. A population is a group individuals of the same species that live in the same area and interbreed, producing fertile offspring. Different ...
