Question
Chapter 14.3, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The differences between allopatric and sympatric
Introduction:
Speciation is the formation of new species which occurs when some members of the population are no longer able to successfully interbreed with the rest of the group. The new species are formed, and others go extinct by a process is known as speciation.
