Genetic Divergence in Species | Zoology
The following points highlight the six main factors that cause genetic divergence in species. The factors are: 1. Mutation 2. Recombination 3. Genetic Drift 4. Natural Selection 5. Hybridization 6. Polyploidy. Genetic Divergence: Factor # 1. Mutation: Gene mutations bring about genetic divergence. It is due to the changes in the chemical composition of gene by substitution, insertions, deletions and [...]
