How long does it take for a species to form?
It takes a certain amount of time depending on the creature. You cannot tell how long or how short it can be. It could take a generation or a thousand generations. It all depends on the environment. The traits that species acquire are determined by what the environment selects. If the environment changes rapidly, then the species is going to evolve more quickly to fit the new environment, or in some cases, the environment changes too quickly for the species to evolve in which extinction can occur.
Why do new species form on new islands?
they evolve to fill new niches
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 is the role of time in classifying organisms?
Over time species evolve into new species.
Did Charles Darwin make an enormous number of species inhabit earth?
No, he recognised that species evolve into new species.
How did humans evolve from alien species?
Not only can aliens evolve into different species but they can make us into a new species but they may only do that with the correct technology. So the question is how will they do it and how much time will they have?
Why doe new species often form new on new islands?
they evolve to fill new niches
What causes mutations?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking
When will flies become extinct?
Flies will likely continue to evolve for another 1.1 billion years before extinction. The current species will have gone extinct (replaced with a new species of Fly) long before then.
What theory proposes species evolve during short periods of rapid change?
Punctuated equilibrium See link below.
How HUMANS Look like when we become new species?
No one knows what humans will look when they become a new species. It will depend on the type of species that humans evolve into that will determine what they look like.
Is it difficult to discover a new species?
Probably the toughest thing about discovering a new species is being familiar with the ones that are known well enough to tell if a new example belongs to a new species. So, I would say yes, it is difficult, just because it takes a long time to learn about whatever species you are studying, and get to know it well enough.
