Speciation<span> is the </span>evolutionary<span> process by which biological populations evolve to become distinct </span>species<span>. The biologist </span>Orator F. Cook<span> coined the term 'speciation' in 1906 for the splitting of lineages or "</span>cladogenesis," as opposed to "anagenesis<span>" or "phyletic evolution" within lineages.</span>
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke causes approximately 45 to 46,000 non smokers to die of heat diseases annually. Smoking harms the cardiovascular system in many ways which include; damaging the lining of arteries, reduces HDL, good choresterol, Raises LML, bad cholesterol, increases blood pressure and heart rate, it also causes the platelets to stick together in the blood stream and speeds the development of fatty deposits in the arteries among other risk factors.

1. Non random mating
In genetic equilibrium individuals must mate at random. However, in many species, individuals select mates based on heritable traits, such as size, strength, or coloration, a practice known as sexual selection.
2. Small population size
Genetic drift does not have major effects on large populations but can affect small populations. Thus evolutionary change due to genetic drift happens more easily in small populations.
<span>3. Immigration or Emigration
Individuals who join a populations may introduce new alleles into the gene pool. Likewise individuals who leave may remove alleles from the gene pool. Any movement of individuals into (immigration) or out of (emigration) a population can disrupt genetic equilibrium, a process know as gene flow.
4. Mutations
Individuals who join a populations may introduce new alleles into the gene pool. Likewise individuals who leave may remove alleles from the gene pool. Any movement of individuals into (immigration) or out of (emigration) a population can disrupt genetic equilibrium, a process know as gene flow.
5. Natural Selection
if different genotypes have different fitness, genetic equilibrium will be disrupted, and evolution will occur.</span>
