Question

Origin of new species due to the geographical separation is called.

• A. Phyletic speciation
• B. Allopatric speciation
  
• C. Sympatric speciation
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Allopatric speciation

In Phyletic speciation, a species changes gradually over a long period of time to become entirely different from the ancestor.

Sympatric speciation is the process through which new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same habitat.

Allopatric speciation, also referred to as geographic speciation, is a mode of speciation that occurs when biological populations of the same species become isolated from each other.

So, the answer is D.
