Question

Distinguish between panmictic and apomictic speciation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Panmictic Describing a population in which mating is entirely random and any two (male and female) individuals are equally likely to mate. Random mating (or panmixis) is one of the assumptions of the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium but is probably uncommon in natural populations, in which spatial structuring and assortative mating are usually evident.

Apomixis is an asexual reproduction that occurs without fertilization and not involving meiosis. One example of apomixis is the apomictic parthenogenesis. It its one in which the egg cell is produced through mitosis. It then develops directly into an embryo without the prior fertilization
