Speciation

• A species becomes geographically isolated
• There is genetic variation within the isolated species
• Some are better adapted to their environments than others, these survive and reproduce to pass on the alleles
• Over generations, they evolve and can no longer interbreed to produce fertile offspring
• A new species has been formed
• MASP

  M - Mutation in the genes

  A - Advantages over others

  S - Survive to reproduce

  P - Pass on to offspring
