Homework SourseA scientist is interested in studying ongoing speciation eve
A scientist is interested in studying ongoing speciation events using field studies. What type of environment will most likely provide a good place for this?
| a) An environment that is already very species-rich |
Solution
d) An environment that has tall mountains and deep valleys
Speciation occurs when a region contains different environments that provide different growth conditions. As the natural selection supports reproductive success, the organisms tend to develop new traits to survive under these conditions. For example, the different environmental conditions at the top of the hill and valleys allow the occurrence of different trains that are likely to cause speciation.
