Question

Sympatric species live in

• A. Same habitat
• B. Same geographical area
• C. Water
• D. Forests

Answer 1

The correct option is B Same geographical area

• Sympatric speciation is the evolution of a new species from a surviving ancestral species while both continue to inhabit the same geographic region. For example, The hawthorn fly.
• It occurs when populations of a species that live in the same geographical area become reproductively isolated from each other.
• Hence Sympatric species live in the same geographical area.
• So, the correct answer is 'Same geographical area'.
