  • question_answer
    Assertion                :       Geographic isolation brings about sympatric speciation.            Reason        :       Reproductive isolation brings about allopatric speciation.

    A)             If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

    B)             If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion 

    C)             If the assertion is true but the reason is false

    D)             If both the assertion and reason are false

    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                                                        In allopatric speciation (species formation), a part of the population becomes geographically isolated from the main population. The population becomes entirely separated and finally constitutes a new species. In sympatric speciation, a small segment of the original population becomes isolated reproductively. As the isolating mechanism comes into force, a new subspecies emerges. In due course of time a new species is formed.
