Speciation is the evolution of reproductive isolation among once interbreeding population.

Factors which can lead to speciation are:

  • Genetic drift: Over generations, genetic drift may accumulate which leads to speciation.
  • Natural selection: Natural selection may work differently in different location which may give rise to speciation.
  • Severe DNA change.
  • A variation may occur which does not allow sexual act between two groups.
