For each scenario given, decide whether allopatric or sympatric speciation would be the likely result. an island splits in two and the halves drift apart, separating a population of native birds. the development of a road divides a population of rabbits. in a population of mice, some mice only eat fruit while others only eat seeds. some female african cichlids only mate with blue-colored males, while others only mate with red-colored males. some beetles in a population only mate at night, while others only mate during the day.

Answer:

An island splits in two and the halves drift apart, separating a population of native birds --> Allopatric

The development of a road divides a population of rabbits ---> allopatric

In a population of mice, some mice only eat fruit while others only eat seeds.> sympatric

Some female African cichlids only mate with blue-colored males, while others only mate with red-colored males.> sympatric

Some beetles in a population only mate at night, while others only mate during the day.> sympatric

Explanation:

Answers:

Allopatric:

1. The development of a road divides a population of rabbits.

2. An island splits in two and the halves drift apart, separating a population of native birds.

Sympatric:

3. Some female African cichlids only mate with blue-colored males, while others only mate with red-colored males.

4. In a population of mice, some mice only eat fruit while others only eat seeds.

5. Some beetles in a population only mate at night, while others only mate during the day.
