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: -This process of formation of new species that can produce fertile offsprings is called as speciation.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Here, we’ll explore these modes of speciation: Allopatric (allo = other, patric = place): New species formed from geographically isolated populations. Peripatric (peri = near, patric = place): New species formed from a small population isolated at the edge of a larger population.
