When will natural selection occur
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/10
Natural selection occurs when four conditions are met:
1. There is variation among individuals.
2. That variation is at least partially heritable.
3. That variation is linked to differential reproductive
success.
4. More individuals are born than can survive and reproduce.

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...).
