Question 3 • Fall 24 GSE Biology B-IC

What are the two phases of speciation?

Answer
A
change of existing species
B
creation of new species from a single mutation to an individual
C
splitting of existing species into two or more different species

Explanation

Speciation involves changes within an existing species and, ultimately, the splitting of its population into two or more distinct species. A single mutation in one individual does not create a new species by itself, so choice B is incorrect.
