    A)  Allopatric

    B)  Sympatric

    C)  Biospecies

    D)  Sibling species

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     A species population having discontinuous distribution due to geographical barrier is called allopatric species. Addtion of certain more variations in their gene pool leads to reproductive isolation. Sympatric:  Species originating in or occupying the same geographical area. Here speciation occurs due to polyploidy or mutation. Biospecies: (Biological species) are sexually interbreeding group of individuals and reproductively isolated from other species. They do not exchange genetic material from other species (or absence of cross- fertilization). Sibling species: Two distinct species which are    morphologically    identical    but reproductively isolated i. e., distinct from each other due to absence of interbreeding.
