Detailed explanation-1: -In allopatric speciation, groups from an ancestral population evolve into separate species due to a period of geographical separation. In sympatric speciation, groups from the same ancestral population evolve into separate species without any geographical separation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sympatric speciation (biology definition): a form of speciation wherein a new species evolves from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region. Sympatric speciation is more common in plants. For instance, parent plants produce offspring that are polyploid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sympatric speciation is speciation that occurs when two groups of the same species live in the same geographic location, but they evolve differently until they can no longer interbreed and are considered different species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sympatric speciation, from the Greek ‘same place’, involves the splitting of an ancestral species into two or more reproductively isolated groups without geographical isolation of those groups.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the broadest sense, sympatric species have overlapping geographic ranges, but in ecology, a narrower definition is often used that describes species that not only have overlapping ranges, but that live in the same local community such that they are close enough to interact.
