Detailed explanation-1: -Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics. The demands of a different environment or the characteristics of the members of the new group will differentiate the new species from their ancestors.
Detailed explanation-2: -New species arise through a process called speciation. In speciation, an ancestral species splits into two or more descendant species that are genetically different from one another and can no longer interbreed. Darwin envisioned speciation as a branching event.
Detailed explanation-3: -Speciation is the formation of one or more new species from an existing species.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sympatric speciation: the new species evolves within the geographic range of its ancestor.
Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Speciation is the event that occurs when two populations of a particular species can no longer interbreed.
