Question

1. speciation is the development of new species over time. what is the difference between allopatric speciation and sympatric speciation?

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation occurs due to geographical isolation, where a physical barrier separates a population, leading to genetic divergence over time. Sympatric speciation happens within the same geographical area, often due to factors like polyploidy or ecological specialization, without a physical barrier separating the population.

Answer:

Allopatric speciation involves geographical isolation; sympatric speciation occurs in the same area without geographical separation.
