Instantaneous speciation, also known as saltation, is a theory in evolutionary Biology that suggests new species can arise suddenly and rapidly, rather than through gradual accumulation of small changes. This idea challenges the traditional view of gradualism where species evolve slowly over time. However, there is limited empirical evidence to support the concept of instantaneous speciation.
Instantaneous speciation is a hypothetical concept that suggests a species can suddenly split into two separate species without any transitional forms. This is not widely accepted in mainstream evolutionary biology, as speciation is generally considered to occur over longer periods of time through various mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, and geographic isolation.
Speciation is the process by which new species evolve from existing species. It is necessary for creating and maintaining biodiversity in ecosystems. Without speciation, organisms would not be able to adapt to changing environments and ultimately survive.
Speciation can occur over variable timeframes depending on factors like genetic isolation, selective pressures, and population size. It can range from thousands to millions of years, with some rapid speciation events documented in certain circumstances.
the formation of species
Sympatric speciation refers to the formation of two or more descendant species from a single ancestral species all occupying the same geographic location. Often cited examples of sympatric speciation are found in insects that become dependent on different host plants in the same area.

the formation of a new species over a few generations

Allopatric speciation.
Instantaneous power doesn't have a frequency; it's instantaneous!
sympatric , allopatric and parapatric speciation
speciation
Isolation Is necessary for speciation to occur.
Actually it is.
Nothing is instantaneous.
Instantaneous.
if you are referring to the the worksheet the evolution of living things from the textbook holt science and technology, the answer is speciation
