Allopatric speciation and sympatric speciation are two factors.
Allopatric speciation occurs when physical barriers are formed, separating the specie. This will cause the specie to evolve at different rates causing a new specie to form.
Sympatric speciation is less likely to occur when comparing it to allopatric. In sympatric speciation is no longer physical but generic. For example a mutation in the genetic order of the specie (which does not happen as often as physical barriers), and a different mating preference/season.

Can changes in the behavior of an organism can result in speciation?
it is TRUE!!
Which of the following shows an example of organisms being classified based on their physiological abilities?
Speciation occurs during the evolutionary development, or phylogeny, of a species. In which of the following situations will speciation occur
Speciation is the process by which new species are formed Which of the following circumstances is most likely to lead to speciation?
A population becomes separated by different environments and do not reproduce with one another.
The formation of a new species can result from what?
Mutation, isolation and natural selection. Google allopatric speciation.
Why does polyploidy not cause speciation or even be associated with speciation?
Actually it is.
What kind of selection can result in speciation?
Natural selection seems to be the only selection that can drive speciation with powerful adaptive change. Sexual selection seems to stay within the species and both gene flow and genetic drift do not seem to drive speciation very well.
What is often a result of evolution?
Adaptation, divergence and speciation.
Which condition may result in speciation?
Sexual Selection.
Can changes in the behavior of an organism can result in speciation?
it is TRUE!!
Is the formation of new species as a result of evolution?
speciation
Which of the following shows an example of organisms being classified based on their physiological abilities?
Speciation occurs during the evolutionary development, or phylogeny, of a species. In which of the following situations will speciation occur
Speciation can result when two populations have become?
Reproductively Isolated.
The formation of a new species as a result of evolution by natural selection?
speciation
Is it true that species that exist at the same time are the net result of speciation and mutation?
No
Speciation is the process by which new species are formed Which of the following circumstances is most likely to lead to speciation?
A population becomes separated by different environments and do not reproduce with one another.
What is the biological term when new species form as a result of geogical isolation?
Alopatric speciation.
Does convergent evolution result in speciation?
All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.
