The wildfires in California are destroying vast areas. Given evolutionary concepts you have learned about in class, what kind of speciation you think they are causing in animal populations and explain how they can lead to the genetic pool differentiation in these animals. Be very specific and thorough explaining the processes that can take place and why. You can use a particular species to demonstrate your point, but you must be very specific.

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
