What is the difference between sympatric and allopatric speciation?
Definition

sympatric- when 2 groups of the same species live in the same geographic area but evolve differently until they can no longer interbreed and are considered different species

sympatric speciation is due to balanced polymorphism,hybridization, and polyploidy 

 

allopatric- biological populations of the same species become isolated by a geographical change
