What is the process that produces new species from existing species called?

Reproduction
Domestication
Symbiosis
Speciation

The correct answer is: Speciation

Speciation is the process that produces new species from existing species. Reproduction is the act of producing offspring, which does not necessarily result in the creation of new species. Domestication is the process of taming and controlling wild animals or plants for human use. While this can lead to changes in the species over time, it is not the same as creating a new species. Symbiosis is a close ecological interaction between two different species, but it does not necessarily lead to the creation of new species. Therefore, the most accurate answer to this question is speciation.
