Question Detail
Question
Speciation occurs primarily due to: a. Random mating b. Overproduction c. Longterm natural selection d. Fossilization
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Speciation is the result of evolutionary forces, primarily long-term natural selection acting on populations that are isolated from each other. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of enough differences that they become distinct species.
Hint
It's the outcome of populations changing over a very long time due to selective pressures.
