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 is the main way which new individuals are added to a population?
The main way individuals are added to the population (with animals) is the birth of new offspring.
What is one of the main ways a new species forms?
Species don't simply "appear" all the time. The development of new species takes thousands of years. According to the theory of evolution, (which mind you, is a theory and not a law) if you take two identical pairs of birds (a male and female) and release them in two very different environments, in several thousand years, (assuming the birds survive the new environment) the birds might have decendants of very different colors, or shape, or diet. Cross breeding is another way, taking two species of the same kind of animal (Two species of fruit flies) and having them mate might produce a new kind of animal Ligers are a cross between a lion and tiger, and yes, they do exist
What is the called when two organisms can no longer successfully breed?
The phenomenon is called reproductive isolation. It occurs when two organisms of different species are unable to reproduce and produce fertile offspring due to genetic, behavioral, or physiological barriers between them.
In what way do adaptations help the survival of species?
It increases the biodiversity of the species.
What do bacteria produce?
"Bacteria producing bacteria" - this is not a specific type of bacteria, as you might say a dog is a specific type of animal. All bacteria reproduce, and form new bacteria through a process usually called binary fission. In this way, each bacteria produces more new bacteria. It is not a trait of one species of bacteria.
What is one main way a new species forms?
natural selection
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.
What is one main way a new species is born?
your mom, it's always the answer!
What is one way New species can develope?
There is one way that new species can develop. The only way a new species can develop is from mating.
Why can't we say exactly how many species there are?
Because new species form every single day which adds more to what scientists know. By the way, Did you know there are hundreds of species of animals out there that scientist have not yet discovered.
How would you spell the plural form of species?
Just that way.
What is the main way in which new individuals are added to a population?
Being born is the main way, if you ask me.
What is the main way in which new individuals are added to the population?
Being born is the main way, if you ask me.
There is a new species called sabbir it is the worlds fattest species is this true?
Yes there is a new species called Sabbir it is the worlds fattest species they normally way 10 tonnes and there bigger than a London bus.
What is one way new species form?
First, you must a have a population of the same species. They must split so that they cannot cross-breed, this can happen by an island or a canyon range. Then, through many generations mutations, genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection and bottleneck effect comes a new species.
What is the main which new individuals are added to a population?
The main way individuals are added to the population (with animals) is the birth of new offspring.
Can new species be created from existing species?
Yes, they can. It happens quite often (comparatively speaking; evolution of new species can take millions of years) and is the major way of new species arising. For example, Darwin's finches were originally the same species, but because of the separation across the Galapagos Islands, they developed differently to the point they became unique species.
