The Isthmus of Panama began to appear around 10 million years ago, and completely connected North and South America by 3 million

years ago, which divided the Caribbean and Pacific oceans. An original 15 snapping shrimp species are hypothesized to have become 30 different species after being split into separate populations by the Isthmus of Panama. What kind of speciation is most likely to have caused this increase in snapping shrimp species around the Isthmus of Panama?
A. Parapatric speciation

B. Temporal speciation

C. Sympatric speciation

D. Allopatric speciation

Answer:

D.  Since  the population  of new species  of snapping shrimp were formed by geographical barrier, This is Allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation refers to emergence of new species  of organism which were separated from the original population by geographical isolation.

The selection pressure on the new habitat leads to changes in the physiology, morphology,and behavioural features of the new snapping shrimp  species. Thus a new species is formed.

Since the barrier  prevented the mixing or interbreeding between  the separated species  and the original species, if they were reintroduced they  refused to mate,thus leading to emergence of a new specie.

Thus the type of speciation due to  geographical isolation(Isthmus of Panama) leading  to emergence of two new species of snapping shrimps  is called Allopatric speciation.

Fossils almost never contain DNA. So how can we know how closely or distantly related fossil organsims are to living organisms
Nostrana [21]
While it's true that Fossils hardly even contain DNA, they can still provide numerous clues in order to identify and verify an organism.

For example, in terms of Dinosaurs, their bones and fossils have provided enough evidence to provide an evolutionary link with modern birds.

Carbon dating is another way to find the age of a fossil which provides more information on it's surrounding habitat and the animals it interacted with.
