Detailed explanation-3: -“Speciation is the process of formation of new species from existing populations.”

Detailed explanation-4: -Speciation is defined as the evolutionary formation of new biological species, usually by the division of a single species into two or more genetically distinct ones. Speciation occurs along with the help of genetic drift, migration, geographical isolation, and natural selection.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
