All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.

What is an example of convergent evolution in the tundra?
Convergent evolution is said to have occurred when species which are very different from one another have developed very similar traits. This type of evolution is said to happen as a result of having to adapt to specific environments, such as a tundra. An example of convergent evolution in the tundra is the arctic fox.
Why is mutation important to spectation?
Without mutation there can be no evolution. Without evolution there can be no speciation.
What is a part of macro-evolution?
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
Natural selection can lead to the formation of a new species which is called?
The development of a new species through evolution is called speciation.
Natural processes such as speciation and gradualism provide the genetic basis for what?
evolution
What is often a result of evolution?
Adaptation, divergence and speciation.
Is the formation of new species as a result of evolution?
speciation
The formation of a new species as a result of evolution by natural selection?
speciation
What is a macro evolution?
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
What do the structures that result from convergent evolution indicate about organisms?
The structure that result from convergent evolution indicates that organisms have to be reclassified because when scientists compared nucleic acid from the cells of the animals and they found many diffrences in them.
Is speciation an example of miro-evolution in organisms?
If you use the micro-macro dichotomy then no Speciation is macro evolution. To be precise, biologists, though many biology texts do not conform, say evolution and speciation.

How do you use convergent evolution in a sentence?
Convergent evolution means that different species have evolved to do the same sort of thing. Those two animals show convergent evolution. Convergent evolution explains why they look so much alike.
What are analogous characteristics?
analogous character similarities that are the same, but found in different species, thought to have arisen from convergent evolution
How does speciation process affect evolution?
Speciation adds to biodiversity. Hence it affect the evolution of best suited forms to come up.
The evolution of Darwin's finches is an example of what?
speciation
When micro-evolution occurs over many generations as inherited characteristics leads to changes in populations what has occurred?
Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
