Two morphologically similar populations are intersterile. They belong to
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Two sibling species
The two morphologically similar species may look similar but can be genetically different. It may arise due to mutation variation and recombination. Mutation brings a sudden change in the nucleotides sequence. Variation and recombination lead to change in the genome. So if they reproduce they produce offspring which are inter-sterile as the gene flow is reduced within the populationSo, the correct answer is 'Two sibling species'
