Species Living in _____ Live in the Same Place

Question

Species living in _____ live in the same place.
A) Allopatry.
B) Sympatry.
C) Pleiotropy.
D) Differentiated niches.

Accepted Answer

Species living in sympatry live in the same place, and this can lead to competition for resources and the evolution of different niches to minimize that competition. Allopatry refers to species living in different places, and pleiotropy refers to a single gene having multiple effects on phenotype. Differentiated niches is not a commonly used term in evolutionary biology.
