A common speciation event is called allopactric speciation. This is the geographic separation of a single species into two populations. Naturally, one could expect statistically different genetic variation to arise in these two populations and the environments may be different also. In any event, these two populations, after time, would be headed down different evolutionary roads.

According to the competitive exclusion principle two species cannot continue to occupy the same?
Niche. If they occupy the same niche, then they are competing for the same resources. Eventually one species will evolve to be better suited for competition and the other species will become extinct. So it is then said that one species needs to evolve into a slightly different niche in order to end interspecific competition.
What is it called when two very different species evolve to look like each other?
Convergent evolution may be the words you seek. This often happens when different species have to adapt to a similar environment. An example would be the similar body shape, and the shape of appendages; of both fish and of marine mammals.
Can a mushroom evolve?
Mushrooms do not have legs so they can't move.
What can help to determine evolutionary relationships between species?
When two species evolve together, having some relationship while evolving, they both leave traces of what the relationship was in their genetics. For instance, if you see one species with huge teeth, and another with thick skin, one might draw the conclusion that the relationship encompassed one species trying to eat the other.
What can result in the immediate creation of a new species?
That depends on what you mean by 'immediate'. Drastic rates of evolution are possible in many species, where mutations are either relatively very common or where the environment results in harsh selection. But nothing will make one species "immediately" evolve into another in one generation, or even two or ten.
How can two species evolve from one specie?
they both die
How do geographic isolation contribute to evolution?
When two groups of the same species are cut off from each other, they evolve from mutations and natural selection independently. Each one could evolve into a different species. For instance, let's say two populations of a species of bunny exist, one in a desert and one in the artic. The one in the desert would likely evolve into a bunny which could keep cool and blend into rocks and sand, while the population in the artic would likely evolve into a species which could keep warm and blend into snow. The one species of bunny would then become two.
What is when 2 species evolve together?
This is an occurrence of co-evolution of the two species.
When does one species evolve into many species?
If there is multiple environments and competition for food, there will be more species development.
What is an example of co evolution in the tundra?
This is when one animal will evolve into two different species. Many animals and insects will do this in certain areas.
What is exhibit parallel and divergent and convergent evolution?
Parallel evolution: two (or more) species or genera that evolve in similar ways over time. Divergent evolution: two or more closely related species or genera that evolve to become quite different from one another. Convergent evolution: two or more unrelated and dissimilar species or genera that evolve to become similar to one another, for example penguins (birds that used to fly), dolphins (mammals that used to walk on land) and fish (animals that were always swimming)
What is a pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other?
COevolution
According to the competitive exclusion principle two species cannot continue to occupy the same?
Niche. If they occupy the same niche, then they are competing for the same resources. Eventually one species will evolve to be better suited for competition and the other species will become extinct. So it is then said that one species needs to evolve into a slightly different niche in order to end interspecific competition.
What is the word that belongs to the definition- A situation in which two or more species evolve in response to each other?
its convergance actually its co-evolution. convergence is when unrelated organisms come to resemble one another. co-evolution is the process in which two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time.
Does an individual a population or a species evolve?
Populations evolve.
How can one species evolve from two species?
Answer 1One species can evolve from two species if the two bypass the barriers between them. These barriers can be physical. For example, mountains or if they are similar in type. A plant can not breed with a human, there are too many genetic differences. If their offspring can interbreed or have offspring of their own they can form a new species. Horses and donkeys are close in genetic type but their offspring are mules and they are infertile and can not have offspring of their own.Answer 2As noted above, a new species may emerge from a hybridisation between two closely related existing species. This is not seen very often in the more complex animals, but happens frequently in plants and may occasionally occur in insects or even birds.
What is speciation ?
the formation of species
