several generations
species can evolve over time,
for example- wildcats, lynx, bobcat, and cougar, indicate that all came from a common ancestor.
because divergence leads to the formation of new species
When two or more populations begin to diverge.
When interbreeding is no longer possible
When a population is isolated
several generations
reproductive isolation
the formation of species
Punctuated equilibrium.
I will assume the word you are looking for is speciation. Perhaps adaptive speciation to be precise.
Sympatric Speciation
several generations
because divergence leads to the formation of new species
That adaptive change takes place leading to eventual speciation.
Divergence
Allopatric speciation.
sympatric , allopatric and parapatric speciation
Isolation Is necessary for speciation to occur.
Actually it is.
speciation
if you are referring to the the worksheet the evolution of living things from the textbook holt science and technology, the answer is speciation
allopatric speciation
Caralous linnaeus theory is accepted theory of speciation
