What happen when the range of an animal species becomes divided?

Speciation.


Slow change over time in a species is a way to define?

It is called speciation. Speciation can happen through adaptation, which is a change in an organisms genetic code. If adaptation has gone on long enough so that the two organisms can no longer produce offspring, then speciation has occurred.


What are 3 events that can lead up to speciation?

Isolation often leads to speciation, because as each isolated population evolves new characteristics, the separate populations eventually get DNA that is too different for the two to breed and have fertile offspring (this is the point when speciation has occurred). In the case that there is not isolation, the whole species must slowly evolve until it becomes a new species. However, here the line between where the speciation actually occurred becomes blurry, because it doesn't happen in a single generation.


Speciation caused by change in the course of a river is an example pf divergent speciation?

Allopatric speciation.


What is the process by which new species form is called?

The process by which new species form is called speciation. Speciation occurs when populations of a species become reproductively isolated and diverge over time, leading to the evolution of distinct species. This can happen through mechanisms such as geographic isolation, genetic drift, and natural selection.


Types of Speciation?

sympatric , allopatric and parapatric speciation


What type of speciation occur when a plant population becomes reproductively isolated while living with its parent population?

What is necessary for speciation to occur?

Isolation Is necessary for speciation to occur.


Why does polyploidy not cause speciation or even be associated with speciation?

Actually it is.

Sympatric Speciation


What usually has to happen before a population can become 2 different species?

Before a population can become two different species, they must first be isolated from each other for a long period of time, limiting gene flow between them. Over time, the populations will accumulate enough genetic differences that they can no longer interbreed and produce viable offspring, leading to the formation of new species.
