Question

t elevatUsing species C as a reference, you find that there are more genetic differences between species A and species C than between species A and species B. Which of the statements would best reflect the mode of speciation in these mice?

Answer 1

Answer:

Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original populations.

Explanation:

• There are two types of speciation: allopatric and peripatric.
• Allopatric speciation occurs when the species of same population gets isolated that results in lack of gene flow.
• From the isolated population, new species are formed then it is known as the peripatric speciation.
• All these isolation of populations and formation of new species depends upon the initial or original group of species that was dispersed.
