Options
- AInterspecific speciation
- BIntergeneric speciation
- CSympatric speciation
- DAllopatric speciation
Correct answer
C. Sympatric speciation
Step-by-step solution
(bread wheat) is an allohexaploid plant that originated through hybridization between different species followed by chromosome doubling (allopolyploidy).
Since this process of forming a new species occurs in the same geographical area as the parent species without any geographical isolation, it is a classic example of sympatric speciation.
