Question

After confirming that Amphilophus citrinellus and Amphilophus zaliosus were indeed two species that originated from a single colonization of Lake Apoyo by their common ancestor, what evidence explained this was a sympatric speciation event rather than an allopatric speciation event? Amphiophus zaiosus Although Lake Apoyo is a very heterogeneous habitat, body morphology in the two species supported speciation via competition, rather tha n geographic separation. Ob. Although Lake Apoyo is a very homogeneous habitat, body morphology in the two species supported speciation based on geographic separation, rather than habitat and ecological specialization. O c Although Lake Apoyo is a very homogeneous habitat, body morphology in the two species supported speciation based on habitat and ecological specialization, rather than geographic separation. d Although Lake Apoyo is a very heterogeneous habitat, body morphology in the two species supported speciation based on geographic separation, rather than speciation via competition.

Explanation / Answer

Answer - C - Body morphology in the two species suppourted speciation based on habitat and ecological specilalization, rather than geographic separation.

Allopatric speciation occurs when a population of organisms becomes separated or isolated from their main group.So geographic isolation goes to allopatric. Option B and D are removed.
