Guarantee? No. If there is not sufficient variance genetically by recombination and mutation in the immediate environment then nothing will speciate. But geographic barriers are very likely to aid speciation.

What factors are involved in the formation of new species?

The main factors involved in the formation of new species are genetic isolation, genetic mutations, natural selection, and geographic barriers. When a population becomes isolated from the rest of its species and evolves genetic differences due to mutations and natural selection over time, it can eventually become distinct enough to be classified as a new species. Geographic barriers can also play a role in isolating populations and driving speciation.


The separation of populations by barriers such as rivers mountains or bodies of whaters is called?

The separation of populations by barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water is called geographic isolation. This can lead to the formation of distinct species through genetic divergence and adaptation to their specific environments.


What is a factor that is necessary for the formation of a new species?

One necessary factor for the formation of a new species is reproductive isolation, which prevents individuals from different populations from interbreeding and exchanging genetic material. This isolation can be caused by geographic barriers, behavioral differences, or genetic incompatibility, leading to the accumulation of genetic differences that ultimately result in the formation of distinct species.


The condition in which there are barriers to inbreeding between individuals of same species separated by portion of a mountain range is referred to as?

Geographic isolation.


When does geographic isolation occur?

Geographic isolation occurs when a physical barrier, such as a mountain range, river, or body of water, separates a population into two or more distinct groups. This isolation prevents the groups from interbreeding, leading to genetic divergence and potentially the formation of new species over time.


Separation of species or populations so that they cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring?

This process is known as reproductive isolation, which can occur through different mechanisms such as geographic barriers or genetic incompatibility. Over time, reproductive isolation can lead to speciation, resulting in the formation of new species.


Do geographic barriers guarantee the formation of new specie?

Not guarantee, but it is rather helpful. It is not too likely that two population split by a solid geographic barrier would not begin to speciate. To not speciate they would have to not have any beneficial mutations over time that would carry their gene pools apart. Then there is the possibility of founder effect by having the frequency of alleles vary between the two populations in a random manner. So, not guarantees, but even modern ring species vary greatly enough that at the ends of the ring they are different species. ( Google ring species )


What is required for the formation of new species?

The formation of new species, known as speciation, typically requires a reproductive barrier that prevents gene flow between populations. This can occur through mechanisms such as geographic isolation, genetic mutations, or behavioral differences. Over time, these barriers can lead to genetic divergence and the development of distinct species.


How is symatric speciation similar to allpatric speciation?

Both sympatric and allopatric speciation involve the formation of new species through the genetic isolation of populations. In both cases, reproductive barriers develop that prevent gene flow between populations, leading to divergence and eventually the formation of separate species. The key difference between the two is that sympatric speciation occurs within the same geographic area, while allopatric speciation involves speciation due to geographic isolation.


How can islation lead to formation of new species?

Allopatric Speciation (geographic isolation) can lead to the formation of a new species because the population is split in two smaller populations by a physical barrier (river, canyon, mountain...).
