Answer:

Option C. allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation is a takes place when a population is isolated geographically for example as they are in wild, the fish astyanax mexicanus's two distinguished population of cave and lakes mate rarely. In laboratory they are capable of mating and form hybrid as mentioned in question.

It is occurs in same species due to geographic isolation that prevent the interference in the gene flow of one population to other.

Thus, the correct answer is: option C.

explain how natural selecin oacting on allele frequencies of a gene that controls body coloraiton can result in populations of 3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Well when natural selection occurs, genes that don't benefit the speicies, or more accurately, harm it by ruining camoflague. Natural selection can result in one creature evolving into 3 different species when those creatures get put into different environments that promote genetic mutations that help them survive. After a long while of genetic mutations coming and going to adapt to their environment, those three members of the species are no longer the same species because they've all adapted to different environments.
