Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sympatric speciation is the process by which a new species arises from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region. This can occur through various mechanisms, such as polyploidy, where a cell or organism has more than two sets of chromosomes, allowing it to self-fertilize and produce a new species.
