Forming of a new species by evolution from pre-existing species.
A
Speciation
B
Extinction
C
Gradualism
D
Punctuated equilibrium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Natural selection explains how genetic traits of a species may change over time. This may lead to speciation, the formation of a distinct new species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Speciation is an evolutionary process by which a new species comes into being. A species is a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another to produce fertile offspring and is reproductively isolated from other organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Flies also experience natural selection that favors individuals better suited to the climate and food of the island. 5. Speciation: After some generations, the island flies become reproductively isolated from the mainland flies. Peripatric speciation has occurred.
