Hello students, in this question we have been asked which situation would most likely lead to allopatric speciation.
00:14
Option a, flood causes the formation of new lake.
00:21
Option b, storm causes several large trees to fall down.
00:30
Option c, a mutation causes new traits to develop.
00:41
And option d, an injury causes organism to seek out new food source.
00:53
So allopatric speciation occurs when population is divided by geographical barrier leading to reproductive isolation and eventually the formation of new species.
01:12
So if you look at the options, flood causes the formation of new lake.
01:16
This could create a geographical barrier separating population leading to allopatric speciation.
01:23
So this is possible.
01:25
Let's look at the other option.
01:27
Storm causes several large trees to fall down...
