Question

6 multiple choice 1 point which statement is true? speciation only happens with animals speciation only occurs in tropical areas speciation occurs as populations adapt to different environments speciation occurs when 2 different species mate and create a third species previous

Explanation:

• Speciation is the process by which new species form. It is not limited to animals (plants also undergo speciation), so the first option is false.
• Speciation can occur in various environments, not just tropical areas. So the second option is false.
• When populations adapt to different environments over time, genetic differences accumulate, and this can lead to speciation. This makes the third option correct.
• When two different species mate, it usually results in sterile offspring (like a mule from a horse and a donkey), not a new species. So the fourth option is false.

Answer:

speciation occurs as populations adapt to different environments
