Allopatric speciation
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. A and E only
2. A, E, and C only
3. A, B, and D only
4. A , B, C and E
| 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
3. A, B, and D only

Hints
Given below are two statements
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
| Statement I : | In sympatric speciation, gene flow is reduced by polyploidy, sexual selection and habitat differentiation |
| Statement II: | Hybrid zones, which produce offspring of mixed ancestry, are the predicted outcome when species with incomplete reproductive barrier come into contact with one another. |
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
| 1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct |
| 2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect |
| 3. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct |
