6 points

A population forms a new species within the same area as the original species. There is immediate reproductive isolation even though the species are not geographically isolated.

Populations become geographically separated, each being subjected to different selection pressures, eventually establishing reproductive isolation.

Cline

Allopatric

a gradient in the frequency of a phenotype across different populations of a species along a geographic range.

Sympatric

A population forms a new species within the same area as the original species. There is immediate reproductive isolation even though the species are not geographically isolated.

Populations become geographically separated, each being subjected to different selection pressures, eventually establishing reproductive isolation.

Cline

Allopatric

a gradient in the frequency of a phenotype across different populations of a species along a geographic range.

Sympatric

Determining what organisms are a "species" is super clear, straightforward and leaves little room for error. *
