<h2>False </h2>

Explanation:

The immune system develops integrated innate and adaptive modules that are pathogen type-specific and no single response can effectively control all types of pathogens

Both innate and adaptive immune system operate in cooperative and interdependent ways

Innate immune system is present since birth in an organism and is non specific in nature which means acts against all foreign antigens and molecules and provides first line of defense against pathogens

Adaptive immunity system is the acquired one which is capable of recognizing and selectively eliminating specific foreign antigens and is antigen specific which means can discriminate among different antigens; also has the ability to respond to various kinds of epitopes of pathogens

Allopatric speciation can also be known as geographical speciation.
