Q. Factor affecting the process of speciation are I. Mutation II. Recombination III. Natural selection IV. Hybridisation V. Genetic drift VI. Polyploid VII. Isolation Choose the correct combination

A) I, II, V, VII and VI
B) II, VI, IV, III and V
C) III, IV, V, VII and II
D) I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII
Explanation

All new species develop from the pre-existing species. The phenomenon of the development of a new species from the pre-existing ones is called speciation. A species is a collection of demes. The deme is a group of population with a common gene pool. Mutation, recombination, natural selection, hybridization, genetic drift polyploidy, isolation, all of these factors affects the phenomenon of speciation
