EVOLUTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The phenomenon that studies how new species are formed is known as
A
Gene flow
B
Genetic drift
C
Speciation
D
Founder effect
Explanation: 

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 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-3: -A species is a group of organisms with similar characteristics and can interbreed to give fertile offspring. Speciation is an evolutionary process of the formation of new and distinct species. The species evolve by genetic modification.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some Examples of Speciation Kaibab and Abert’s squirrels-Separate squirrel species evolved after the Grand Canyon was formed, resulting in different squirrel species evolving on either side of the canyon.
