Ans: It is though that, the new species have evolved from a genetic divergent population from a single parent species and inhabiting the same geographical region leads to creation of new species. This is because the gene flow operating in a randomly population would tend to break down differences between the incipient species. In other words, to select a species, one should think of selecting species/population which is diverging and the gene flow from their ancestors should be very less or negligible. In case of speciation, we can find reduced gene flow between the populations except in sympatric speciation. Because the randomly mating populations of the same geography are able to inbreed and may not be produce a single diverge species. Sympatric speciation refers to the formation of two or more descendant species from a single ancestral species all occupying the same geographic location. This type of speciation is not regular and it is very often in the nature and it is very difficult to prove the sympatric speciation was possible. Because it was impossible to observe it happening. It was believed that, there were no evident explanations how two species could emerge from one if the subspecies were able to inbreed. Though there are evidences for divergence/gene flow in sympatric speciation, how often it may actually occur in nature and how much of life’s diversity is the today debate. The hard fact is that, the in fully sympatric species really do experience diverging selection due to competition in the nature. The evidences tell us little about how often sympatry actually results in speciation in a more typical context. The burdon now lies on providing evidence for sympatric divergence occurring in non-isolated habitats. It is not known how much of the earth’s diversity it could be responsible for. It is not known how much of the earth’s diversity it could be responsible for. Meanwhile, some claim that much of the earth’s diversity could be due to speciation without geographic isolation and also it is very difficult in supporting a sympatric speciation hypothesis has always been that an allopatric scenario could always be invented and those can be hard to rule out.
With all this we can say true sympatric speciation is a theoretical process and not a reality in natural population.

List the different speciation pathways and distinguish between them (allopatric, parapatric, sympatric). Differentiate between the two forms of sympatric speciation (autopolyploidy, allopolyploidy) Predict the outcome of the interactions between populations in hybrid zones.

For each situation, indicate the type of speciation described. Rabbits on one island have a colder climate then rabbits on another island. Over time, the two populations of rabbits become separate species.

98. All of the following are examples of sympatric speciation mechanisms except for: a. behavioral isolation. b. gametic incompatibility c. physical separation d. temporal isolation e. hybrid non-viability. 99. True/False Bacteria are so diverse because their DNA and molecular biology is so diverse 100. True/False. Taxonomy is a fascinating field and many biologist relish the opportunity to taxonomically categorize things (FALSE FYI).
1) Use real-world examples to outline the steps of the speciation process (both dispersal and vicariance) and to differentiate between allopatric and sympatric speciation. 2) Describe the various ways reproductive isolation could occur and lead to speciation (both prezygotic and postzygotic mechanisms).
In the process of allopatric speciation, a geographical barrier prevents _________ from changing the allele frequencies in a population. genetic drift mutation natural selection gene flow
5. Based on the "Allopatric Speciation" video, which of the following can lead to genetic divergence? Select ALL that apply. Select all that apply Founder Effect Gene Flow Natural Selection Mutation Genetic Drift6. There are two isolated populations - Population 1 and Population 2. These populations have been separated for a long period of time. Now, imagine that you bring individuals from these populations together to see if they will interbreed. You find that there is only limited interbreeding between Population 1 and Population 2 and...
