Question

QUESTION 5 Which of the following would best be described as a case of speciation due to dispersal? Two populations of mice diverge in their phenotype and genotype due to adaptation to two different A. soil colors In a lake, a population of fish diverges in their phenotype and genotype because the fish pick mates based on OB. their color A new, isolated population of fruit flies is founded on an island, which then diverge from the OC. parent population. OD. mutation and genetic drift

Answer 1

When the species of same group grow on different environment they may develop new distinctive characteristics according to climate,predation,mating and other factors.This is called as allopatric speciation.

Here it is best explained by option C

Organism growing in the island can have different characteristics than the same species in the mainland.This was first observed by DARWIN.

genotype is the genetic constitution and phenotype is the physical expression of this genetic constitution.
