Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allopatric species are species that occupy mutually exclusive geographical areas. This means that they are separated from each other by a geographic barrier, such as a mountain range, desert, or body of water, which prevents them from interbreeding. As a result, allopatric species typically evolve independently from one another and can become genetically distinct over time.
