Sympatric speciation is speciation with barriers. true or false?

Question

.

Answer 1

False. Sympatric speciation is a type of speciation where new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region or the same habitat without any physical or geographical barriers. In sympatric speciation, genetic isolation arises due to ecological, behavioral, or temporal factors that reduce or eliminate gene flow between subpopulations, leading to the evolution of distinct genetic and phenotypic traits. Therefore, sympatric speciation occurs without the presence of physical barriers that restrict gene flow.
