Question

allopatric vs sympatric summative
so whats the difference between allopatric and sympatric speciation?
which of the following is true about sympatric and allopatric speciation?
sympatric speciation results in the development of a new species but allopatric speciation does not.
sympatric speciation does not result in the development of a new species but allopatric speciation does.
the introduction of geographic barriers will lead to sympatric speciation.
allopatric speciation occurs far more rapidly than sympatric speciation.
sympatric speciation occurs far more rapidly than allopatric speciation.
both allopatric and sympatric speciation can result in the development of new species.
either sympatric or allopatric speciation can use the pressure of natural selection as part of its speciation process.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation occurs when a population is separated by a geographic barrier, leading to genetic divergence and potentially new species formation. Sympatric speciation happens within the same geographic area, often due to factors like polyploidy or ecological specialization. Both can result in new species and can involve natural - selection pressures.

Answer:

Both allopatric and sympatric speciation can result in the development of new species.
Either sympatric or allopatric speciation can use the pressure of natural selection as part of its speciation process.
