Yes and no. Primarily it is for figuring out evolutionary pathways...by grouping animals with similar traits into related families ("clades") it helps us to determine ancestry -- i.e. who evolved from whom...but because it deals with similarities and differences regarding traits, it can also be useful in determining speciation.
What else can I help you with?
Do new specie appear on earth because two individuals from separate mate and their offspring is a new and different species?
No, the process of speciation occurs over many generations through evolutionary changes in a population. It is not a sudden event resulting from the mating of two individuals from different species. Speciation involves gradual divergence in traits and genetic makeup that eventually lead to the formation of a new species.
How do new species change ecosystems?
If there is a new environment, it will likely attract species used to that environment. Maybe species not yet seen. If you don't count that as a new species then consider this, the new animals and species attracted to the new environment and landscapes might have a chance of breeding with other animals and species, creating a new species.
How does speciation affect evolution?
Speciation is the process by which new biological species arise. It is part of the evolutionary process; how two or more populations of one species, when separated geographically, can gradually change over time in different ways, to become separate species.
A whole new organism can grow from just a piece of the parent in animals that have the ability to?
This process is called regeneration, where an entirely new organism can develop from a fragment of the parent organism. Some animals that have this ability include certain species of starfish, planarians, and some species of lizards. Regeneration involves the growth of new tissues and organs to replace those that have been lost or damaged.
How do pioneer species get to a new location?
Pioneer species reach a new location through wind dispersal, water currents, or by attaching to the fur or feathers of animals. Once they arrive, they begin the process of succession by colonizing and establishing themselves in the newly formed habitat.
What does technology have to do with new species?
Technology breeds two animals to make new species.
Are there new species of animals?
Yes there always is.
Why did people domesticate animals?
to make new animals or to keep a certain species alive.
What is the chineese new year?
a new year separate to ours. it involves different animals.
Why are animals kept separately?
because different species could mate and make new species which could cause diseases and disabilities in new species.
What kind of new animals r there in the ocean?
me, ride me? we might make a new species ;)
What is biotech barnyard referring to?
the development of new species of farm animals.
How do you get a new species?
All species are variation due to basically mutation in their DNA and sexual recombination. This leads to many variations in morphology( bodies ) and behavior. The easiest way to get a new species is process called allopactric speciation. This means that the species we are considering is split in two, usually by a geographic barrier. Then the species are isolated from each other, sometimes in new environments and have different mutations that are isolated in the now separate species separate gene pool. and so they begin to change both morphologically and behaviorally and agter some time can not interbreed any more. This process is branch like and the two species may go on as two separate species, such as we humans and chimpanzees. A good example is whales that were once land animals. When they went back to the sea not only were there allele changes but the environment changed for an animal that did much swimming to an animal that lived in the water.
Sometimes animals that are introduced into an area that they have never lived in before out- compete and endanger resident species?
The original species are not used to the new predators being in their environment, so they will become endangered and the new species will dominate.
Why did DNA technology lead to more use to more use of cladistics?
It showed that different-looking animals are actually related. It showed new evolutionary relationships between animals. it changed ideas about which animals were closely related
How do you make a new species of animal?
Have different animals have babies then let those babies have babies with different animals.
Who decides if a populationhas become a new species?
once they can no longer breed and produce a fertile offspring with the other group they become a separate species
