Speciation occurs within a population when genetic changes accumulate over time, leading to the formation of distinct, reproductively isolated groups within the population. This can be driven by factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, and geographical isolation, resulting in the development of new species with unique characteristics.

What type of speciation occur when a plant population becomes reproductively isolated while living with its parent population?
Sympatric Speciation
What best describes how long it usually takes for speciation to occur?
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.
What type of selection can create 2 new species from one population?
There are several types of selections that can do this. It includes allopatric speciation where the population is separated by physical barrios, sympatric speciation where variations occur in the population, and allopolyploid when two species merge.
The effectiveness of geographical barriers in promoting speciation is related to the?
The effectiveness of geographical barriers in promoting speciation is related to the extent of isolation they create between populations, which limits gene flow. Greater isolation increases the likelihood of genetic divergence between populations and the potential for speciation to occur. Other factors, such as the size of the populations and the duration of isolation, can also influence the effectiveness of geographical barriers in promoting speciation.
Speciation that begins as members of a population occupy different ecological zones within the same geographical area is?
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.
What type of speciation occur when a plant population becomes reproductively isolated while living with its parent population?
Sympatric Speciation
Speciation without geographic isolation is called what?
Sympatric Speciation develops within the range of the parent population. This type of speciation does not include geographical isolation, and can occur rapidly if a genetic change results in a barrier between the mutants and the parent population.
What is necessary for speciation to occur?
Isolation Is necessary for speciation to occur.
WHAT can occur only when either interbreeding or the production of fertile offspring is prevented among members of a population?

What must occur for a gene pool within a population to change?
A genetic mutation within the population.
What type of speciation occurs when a plant population becomes reproductive isolated while living with its parent population?
Sympatric Speciation
How does allopatric speciation occur?
Allopatric speciation: ( other country ) A speciation event that is facilitated geographically. A population is split along geographic lines, mountains, rivers, and the now separate gene pools vary in allele frequency over time enough to , possibly, have two new species arise. Sympatric speciation: ( same country ) An in place speciation event where a sub-population within a population begins to vary their alleles from the main population. Perhaps a slight temporal, or water level difference, or mating differences can facilitate this. This speciation event is still a matter of contreversy in biology. Simplified explanations.
Is mating within a population random?
Yes, mating within a population is random. However, it is possible for non random mating to occur within a population.
