Question

Species having many subspecies are

• A. Monotypic/Microspecies
• B. Allopatric
• C. Sibling
• D. Polytypic/Macrospecies

Answer 1

The correct option is D Polytypic/Macrospecies

1. Monotypic species are those containing only one type of sub-species.

2. Allopatric species are those that have evolved in the course of time due to geographical separation between the two populations of the same species.

3. Sibling species are morphologically similar, sometimes even indistinguishable by appearance, but are reproductively isolated from one another leading to interesterify.

4. Polytypic species are those containing more than one sub-species.

So, the correct option is 'Polytypic/macro species'.
