Question

How do new species originate in nature?

Short Answer

Solution

New species originate due to the accumulation of variations over several generations. Natural selection favours useful variations, while isolation prevents interbreeding between populations. Gradually, the isolated populations become different from their ancestors and from each other, resulting in the formation of new species.
