Which of the following is not an event that can contribute to allopatric speciation?   a. A mountain range forms and splits two populations into populations that begin to turn into new species.    b. A subset of individuals disperse to a far away island and begin to turn into a new species.    c. Two populations breed in the same location but at different times, and therefore begin to turn into two new species.    d. A river splits a population into two populations and the two populations begin to diverge on either side of the river.    e. All of these are potential contributors to allopatric speciation.
