Speciation essay A species is a group of organisms that can breed together to produce fertile offspring. New species arise in two ways‚ hybridisation and polyploidy.

Hybridisation is the production of offspring from parents of two different species‚ this means though that the offspring is not fertile such a mule‚ a cross between a horse and a donkey‚ which is why hybridisation can only be explained in plants and not animals.

naming system are called: Domain‚ Kingdom‚ Phylum‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus‚ and Species. The first scientist to use the system was Carolus Linnaeus. His system had seven levels that were used for classification. They range from smallest to largest: Species‚ Genus‚ Family‚ Order‚ Class‚ Phylum‚ and Kingdom. Later on scientists added on more levels. This system brought order to the process of naming species and classifying them into groups. The Dichotomous Key is used to help classify

It is through these trials that the natural world has developed
