C) polyploidy.
D) natural selection.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polyploidy is a type of speciation that can happen rapidly, in a single generation, when an offspring is produced with twice the normal number of chromosomes. This can result in the inability of the offspring to interbreed with its parent population, leading to the formation of a new species. The other options (colonization, vicariance, and natural selection) typically require many generations to see significant changes that result in speciation.
