The formula used can be found in Quora.com (population*average height)/Earth's circumference), gives the result of the number of the human chain.

If the average height of an American is 1.77m and the US population is  326, 292, 068 (June 2, 2017) and if everyone is already an adult. 

US population 326, 292, 068
Average height according to study
is estimated as the same as arm span  <span>1.77
</span>Earth circumference in meters: <span>40,075,000
</span>
<span>
(</span>326, 292, 068 people * 1.77m) / 40,075,000m = 14.411 times

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The options

a. sympatric speciation; vicariance

b. allopatric speciation; vicariance

c. sympatric speciation; dispersal

d. allopatric speciation; dispersal

The CORRECT ANSWER IS d.

d. allopatric speciation; dispersal

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation takes place either via dispersal, when some members of a species shifts it's habitat to a separate geographical area which leads to differentiation of the initial group into separate diverse varieties or species(as in our case study).

Allopatric speciation through dispersal could results in multiple speciation leading to an individual original species producing diverse new species; this occurrence is called adaptive radiation.

In some scenario, a population of an individual species disperses all over a region with each locating a separate niche or isolated habitat. In the course of time, the diverse demands of their just formed lifestyles causes multiple speciation events that comes from a singular species.
