Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hybridization followed by accidents during cell division can occur within the same geographic region (sympatric speciation), leading to the origin of a new plant species. Autopolyploidy can also result from accidents during cell division, but does not involve hybridization. Allopatric speciation involves the geographic separation of populations and subsequent evolution of different traits. Habitat selection describes the process of organisms choosing to live in certain environments, but does not address the origin of new species.
