Detailed explanation-1: -Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Speciation is the process by which new species form. It occurs when groups in a species become reproductively isolated and diverge. In allopatric speciation, groups from an ancestral population evolve into separate species due to a period of geographical separation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Speciation: The evolutionary processes through which new species arise from existing species. Species: In sexually reproducing organisms, species consist of individuals that can interbreed with each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the term describing the process that occurs when a species evolves into a new species without a physical barrier separating populations? Sympatric Speciation. A population diverges and becomes reproductively isolated.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conversely, ‘speciation’ or cladogenesis arises from a splitting event, where a parent species is split into two distinct species, often as the result of geographic isolation or another driving force involving the separation of populations.
