Allopatric Speciation (geographic isolation) can lead to the formation of a new species because the population is split in two smaller populations by a physical barrier (river, canyon, mountain...).

Natural selection can lead to the formation of a new species which is called?
The development of a new species through evolution is called speciation.
How does genetic variation and mutations relate to each other?
mutation brings about variation which is the basis of evolution and the two types of variation are heritable and non-heritable
A factor that is necessary for the formation of a new species?
different mating patterns
A difference in an inherited trait of an organism that may lead to new species?
variation
How might a decrease in competition between species to lead to the sudden appearance of many new species?
The decrease in competition between species can lead to the sudden appearance of many new species because by the time there is a decrease between species more species are developing and that is causing more species to appear so suddenly.
Natural selection can lead to the formation of a new species which is called?
The development of a new species through evolution is called speciation.
What is the accumulation of differences between groups that lead to formation of new species?
Genetic, behavioural and morphological divergence, or genetic drift.
Is geographic barriers guarantee the formation of new species?
Yes, geographic barriers guarantee the formation of new species.
The formation of a new species can result from?
macroevolution
What describe speciation?
The formation of a new species
The formation of new species can result from?
macroevolution
What is the formation of new species from existing species?
The phenomenon is called speciation.
What where the 3 steps that lead to the formation to new species according to the theory of natural selection?
Generally and simply, mutation, genetic variation and natural selection.
What is speciation ?
the formation of species
What did Darwin propose by saying that over a long natural selection could lead to?
Darwin proposed that, over a long period of time, naturall selection could lead to the formation of new species.
Why might a geographic barrier such as a large river cause the formation of a new species of small rodents but not a new species of birds?
Geographic barrier is the barrier which cease the movement of any organism through it. Now as rodents which are not able to cross the river stay apart and develop into different species whereas the as the birds are able to fly the can cross this barrier and can cross with the birds of other part which did not lead the formation of new species of birds.
What is necessary for the formation of a new species?
Reproductive variation.
