Questions and Answers

What is the process of natural selection?

The process of natural selection is the driving force behind the development of new adaptive phenotypes in populations. It is based on the differential reproduction of organisms and the independent occurrence of elemental forces of evolution.

What is one factor that can lead to the formation of new species?

Geographical isolation is one factor that can lead to the formation of new species.

How does natural selection lead to the formation of a new species?

The process of natural selection can cause genetic divergence between populations, which then leads to reproductive isolation. When geographical isolation disappears, the process of natural selection can lead to the formation of a new species.
