Allopatric speciation
A. New species evolve when one (or) more population of a species becomes separated from the other population of the species due to geographical barrier
B. Small groups of individuals break off from the larger group and form a new species
C. Over the time, cessation of the gene flow between geographically isolated population leads to the reproductive isolation
D. The initial stage of allopatric speciation is polymorphism that does not depend on space within a population
E. As a result of natural selection, geographically separate population become adapted to local conditions and thus they are genetically differentiated
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. A and E only
2. A, E, and C only
