The central idea of biological evolution is that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor. Over a large number of years, evolution produces diversity in forms of life due to gene flow, mutations, migration, genetic drift, and natural selection. Some things can be explained, for example, in geographical isolation. Over time a species which can not interbreed because of mountains, becomes less alike and can no longer interbreed to form fertile offspring.

What are 3 ways new species form?
Cross-breeding occurs within the species.
What is The theory that most new species form when small populations became isolated?
The theory you are referring to is called allopatric speciation. It suggests that new species can evolve when a population becomes geographically isolated, leading to genetic divergence and eventually the formation of distinct species.
Required for a new species to form?
For a new species to form, there needs to be a separation in gene flow (such as physical isolation or reproductive barriers) between populations, allowing for genetic divergence over time. This can lead to the accumulation of unique genetic and phenotypic traits that eventually define the new species. Additionally, natural selection plays a crucial role in driving the adaptation and survival of the new species in its specific environment.
What is the main way that a new species form?
By the theory of evolution, new species form through the process of natural selection. This process most often starts with a random mutation in the genome (a random gene suddenly changes or becomes a "mutation"). This mutation either helps, or hinders the new animal (or mutant if you will hehe). If it helps them survive better than the older species, then this new mutant species will become more abundant. If not, than the new species will die off. This process does not happen all at once though, it usually takes a generous amount of mutations and thousands of years for this to happen.
What does a new species form?
A new species forms through a process called speciation, where a population becomes reproductively isolated from other populations and evolves distinct traits over time. This isolation can occur through geographic, ecological, behavioral, or genetic mechanisms, leading to genetic divergence and eventually the emergence of a new species.
What is the process by which new species form?
Speciation
When separated what new species form?
queen latifa species and michael jackson species<3
What are 3 ways new species form?
Cross-breeding occurs within the species.
Why doe new species often form new on new islands?
they evolve to fill new niches
What the general term for the process by which new species form?
The general term for the process by which new species form is "speciation." Speciation occurs when populations of a species become isolated and diverge through various mechanisms, leading to genetic and phenotypic differences that eventually result in the formation of distinct species.
What is one way species form?
Geographic isolation is a way in which a new species can form. Isolation over a long enough period of time can result in a species evolving to have different traits.
Why do new species form?
According to the biological species concept, when the new species no longer can interbreed with the ancestral species, or with the population that it has been geographically isolated from long enough to have allele change significantly enough to prevent interbreeding.
What happens to allow a new species to develop?
the genes form together
What does episodic mean?
New species that form right after a mass extinction
How might the isolation of a group result in a new species?
a new species might form when a group of individuals remains sparated from the rest of its species long enough to accumulate different traits
What is an effect of adaptive radiation?
speciation
What is the process called when genes form together to develop a new species?
Evolution
