Question

Speciation is the divergence of two populations from a common ancestor. How does it contribute to biological diversity?(A) Speciation increases biological diversity.(B) Speciation has no effect on biological diversity.(C) Speciation decreases biological diversity.

Answer 1

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation: The rate of speciation is directly proportional to the amount of biological diversity. This means that, the more is the speciation, the more will be its diversity.

Speciation is a process that helps us in understanding the evolutionary trend of any species and re-establish the various biodiversities existing on earth.

Thus the correct answer is option (A).
