Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Allopatric speciation (1) occurs when a species separates into two separate groups which are isolated from one another. A physical barrier, such as a mountain range or a waterway, makes it impossible for them to breed with one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Speciation is the process by which new species form. It occurs when groups in a species become reproductively isolated and diverge.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biologists group allopatric processes into two categories: dispersal and vicariance. Dispersal occurs when a few members of a species move to a new geographical area, while vicariance occurs when a natural situation arises to physically divide organisms.
