Hint:
Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics.
The correct answer is: Isolation
- 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.
- Reproductive isolation is the key to the speciation of populations
- Speciation is the slow evolution or development of a new species. Reproductive isolation is the process by which individuals of the same species are not able to mate and reproduce leading to the development of new species eventually.
