Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of new species coming into existence from existing species is:
A
Evolution
B
Variation
C
Mutation
D
Speciation
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: -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: -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.
