After a series of mutations and adaptations the organism cannot produce offspring with the original one making it a new species

Modificato da EGO SUM OPTIMUS: 4/30/2015 2:39:05 PMAlright, alright, but what is it that mutates, genetically? And if it can't procreate, how does it further a species?
-
Well genes have to copy and multiply, they have to copy billions of nitrogen bases in a specific order. Your cells do this very accurately, but it has to copy so many things. So a mistake is bound to happen which causes a mutation in the organism. This mutation can yeild a positive or negative effect. Natural selection will filter out the bad mutations, leaving only the ones that will thrive.
-
To procreate they would have to inbreed then?
-
Never said anything about inbreeding
-
I know. I'm asking
-
I never said anything that would require an organism to inbreed, explain why you think inbreeding would need to occur based on what I said.
-
Because it can't further its species with others unless they had similar or compatible chromosomes, right? I just inferred that most likely mate would be a sibling. Please correct me if I'm wrong
-
I really appreciate your open "attitude" I guess you could call it. We don't find to many people like that, I really appreciate it. :)
-
I would think the entire species would be evolving at the same time. It wouldn't be just one animal evolving at a time.
-
That seems too lucky of a scenario. They all got the same mutation at the same time?
-
Idk man, this whole thread has my mind blown lol. Isn't this world awesome?
-
Breeding with the same species is not like donating organs, your chromosomes are compatible with the same species and will always be able to produce offspring. Unless you have a disease of course. Heredity takes care of the gene pool, you don't need similar genes to produce successful offspring.
