It is often unknown whether, if brought together, they could actually interbreed. As an example, dogs and coyotes were originally allopatric species. However, when humans and their dogs moved into coyote-inhabited areas, it was discovered that dogs and coyotes are capable of interbreeding and producing viable offspring. By now, there are so many dog genes in the coyote population that there may no longer be any such thing as a 100% coyote. for further references see: http://Biology.clc.uc.edu/Courses/bio303/natural%20selection.htm

Which type of evolution requires speciation?
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise.
One species evolves into another through the process of adaptation or speciation?
Is speciation b/c my science teacher told me that.
What affect do humans have on speciation?
As part of the environment of other organisms humans can have great effects on speciation. Especially adaptive radiation. As we contribute heavily to the extinction of some species other species flow into those open niches and radiate outwards to possible speciation.
What effect would a very short generation time such as bacteria have on speciation?
Well they would evolve faster, so speciation would occur faster too
Sympatric speciation specifically excludes?
Geographic Isolation
What type of speciation requires a geographic barrier?
Alopatric speciation. " Other country. "
What is the biological term when new species form as a result of geogical isolation?
Alopatric speciation.
Speciation caused by change in the course of a river is an example pf divergent speciation?
Allopatric speciation.
Types of Speciation?
sympatric , allopatric and parapatric speciation
What is necessary for speciation to occur?
Isolation Is necessary for speciation to occur.
Why does polyploidy not cause speciation or even be associated with speciation?
Actually it is.
Complete reproduction isolation is evidence that what has occurred?
speciation
Home of the independent response to separation?
if you are referring to the the worksheet the evolution of living things from the textbook holt science and technology, the answer is speciation
What is the accepted theory of speciation?
Caralous linnaeus theory is accepted theory of speciation
Which type of speciation occurred among galapagos islands finches?
allopatric speciation
Which type of speciation occurs among the Galapagos islands finches?
allopatric speciation
How is sympatric speciation similar allopatric speciation?
They both are mechanisms by which new species arise
