Describe the difference between anagenesis and cladogenesis?
What will be an ideal response?
Anagenesis is the pattern of gradual phyletic change. Speciation as a result of anagenesis does not
result in an increase in biodiversity. When an ancestral species undergo speciation via divergence, two
descendant species are produced, both of which are distinct from the common ancestor. Cladogenesis
does increase biodiversity.
