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 does a new species form?
Evolution .
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 idea that new species form when isolated from the parent group is called genetic drift. The isolation can be as small as a few miles to thousands of miles.
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.
Why is it important to discover new species?
It is important to discover new species because the new discoveries help us understand previously known species even better. The behaviors and characteristics of a new species can explain habitual mysteries in an existing species.
What does a new species form?
Evolution .
What is an effect of adaptive radiation?
speciation
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 the general term for the process by which new species form?
The general term for the formation of a new species is speciation.
Why do new species form on new islands?
they evolve to fill new niches
What are 3 ways new species form?
Cross-breeding occurs within the species.
How a new species form?
Over billions and billions of years, an entire species slowly develops characteristics that they need to adapt to current conditions. If this is repeated enough times, a new species completely different from the original can "form". Or if you're really religious, your God makes new species or whatever.
Why doe new species often form new on new islands?
they evolve to fill new niches
After a group becomes separated from population a new may from?
A new species may form.
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.
