Question

4. _____ is the gradual emergence of two or more species as a result of the geographic separation of two or more groups of animals of the same species. Instantaneous speciation Sympatric speciation Allopatric speciation Adaptive speciation Co-speciation

Answer 1

Answer:

Allopatric speciation is the gradual emergence of two or more species as a result of the geographic separation of two or more groups of animals of the same species.

Explanation:

Speciation is the gradual process by which populations evolve in different species. It is understood by allopatric speciation, that gradual speciation that occurs due to geographical isolation between biological populations of the same species. During this speciation, a population is divided by some geographical barrier, when populations are physically isolated due to geographical barriers (rivers, mountains, among others), the genetic flow between them is interrupted and over time different races will evolve that will become in different species.
