Question

Different species occurring in different geographical area are known as

• A. Allopatric
• B. Sympatric
• C. Sibling species
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Allopatric

Allopatric species are the species that are geographically isolated. Allopatric speciation or geographic speciation is speciation that occurs when biological populations of the same species become vicariant, or isolated from each other to an extent that prevents or interferes with genetic interchange. It can occur either by dispersal, when a few members of a species move to a new geographical area, or by vicariance, when a natural situation, such as the formation of a river or valley, physically divide organisms.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
