Summary Introduction

To describe: Two mechanisms in sympatric populations which decrease the gene flow and making sympatric population most likely to occur.

Concept introduction:

In “sympatric speciation”, different species formed in populations living in the same geographical area. In this condition, reproductive barriers occur by the factors such as, “polyploidy, sexual selection, and habitat differentiation” which ultimately reduces gene flow.

Explain the difference in behaviors of temporally isolated species when it comes to Allopatric vs Sympatric speciation.
true or false, Sexual selection may lead to sympatric speciation
Some females seem to prefer the blue color and some females seem to prefer yellow color. If this a diversifying/ disruptive selection, how could diversifying/disruptive selection result in sympatric speciation in this example?
