i believe that species have variety in their genes that can be activated or deactivated based on environmental factors. variation within a species or type of animal.
i do not believe that you can get an entirely different type of species/animal from another. neither long-term theories support it, which drtove people to short-burst of lts of changes, and these hopeful-monster theories don’t pan out either. never observed in the lab or natural world, ever.

The existence of liberals belies your hypothesis.
I can’t really answer that. Species derived from other species will be greatly similar. Look at cats, separated from dogs and others some 25 million years ago. They have a lot of similarities but are definably different. My house cat isn’t a lion or tiger but it is clearly a relative.
