Which of the following statements is incorrect about sympatric populations?
I. Hybrids could develop in sympatric population
II. Geographic isolation causes the sympatric populations to diverge
III. Sympatric populations exhibit variations in body structure
IV. Geographic overlap exists between sympatric population
I and II
II and IV
II and III
Only II
The speciation which geographically separates the species is known as allopatric speciation. Sympatric speciation diverges due to behavioral isolation. The two separate species will interbreed and form hybrid offspring. Sympatric populations exhibit variations in body structure.
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
