Until recently, these three species of short-tailed pythons, Python curtus, Python brongersmai (middle), and Python breitensteini were considered one species. However, due to the different locations in which they are found, they have become three distinct species. What is this an example of? a. divergent evolution b. sympatric speciation c. allopatric speciation d. variation
Choose from the terms below. (A) Geographic isolation (B) Polyppidy (C) Reproductive isolation (D) Adaptive radian (E) Directional selection Two populations of one species evolved into two separate species after being separated for millions of years by a canyon
EVOLUTION OF DIVERSITY
Evolution
2. What happens in divergent evolution? A) Populations or species develop in different ways from a common point. B) Mutations result in variations among individuals of a single population. C) A species loses flawed traits over generations and becomes more perfect. D) Similar traits develop from different genetic origins in distantly related species.
