What is the main difference between dispersal and vicariance?

  1. One leads to allopatric speciation, whereas the other leads to sympatric speciation
  2. One involves the movement of the organism, and the other involves a change in the environment
  3. One depends on a genetic mutation occurring, and the other does not
  4. One involves closely related organisms, and the other involves only individuals of the same species.

Which of the following statements about sympatric speciation is correct?     It is a process through which two populations can diverge and develop reproductive isolation while in two different geographic area.     It is the most common mechanism for populations to form independent species.     Postzygotic isolation is the main form of reproductive isolation for the sympatric speciation process.     Genetic isolation through large scale chromosomal mutations, such as chromosome inversion or polyploidy, are more likely contributing to sympatric speciation.     None of the above
Which of the following models, that attempt to explain human origins and dispersal, no longer is supported due to current information supplied by genetic evidence?  In other words, which model has been thrown out while the other two are still being debated? Group of answer choices multiregional model partial replacement model complete replacement model
One example of coevolution is when speciation within one group of organisms drives speciation within another group of organisms with which it interacts. The term for this type of coevolution is which of the following? Mutualism Antagonism Cospeciation Cooperation Conflict
