Question

Two related populations occupying geographically separate area are

• A. Allopatric populations
• B. Parapatric populations
• C. Quantum populations
• D. Saltational populations
• E. Sympatric populations

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Allopatric populations

• The allopatric population is constituted by the species that have evolved in the course of time due to geographical separation between the two populations of the same species.
  
• This geographical isolation prevents mating between the two organisms of the same species. As a result, there is no gene flow in the population. So, ultimately these organisms speciate to give rise to new species.
  

So, the correct option is 'Allopatric populations'.
