Explanation:

Speciation refers to the origin of new species from a pre-existing species.Speciation can be Gradual or instantaneous depending on the time taken for evolution of new species.Speciation occurs when gene pool of a population is somehow reproducively isolated from other populations of parent species.This isolation can occur by geographical barrier, reproductive isolation or non-recognition of potential mates.Speciation can be classified as allopatric speciation, Sympatric speciation and parapatric speciation.
