True.
False.Flag this QuestionQuestion 252.5pts Sympatric speciation, a process by which a population develops into two or more reproductively isolated groups, occurs in plants but not in animals because
gene flow does occurs only in plants.
polyploidy only occurs in animals.

species evolve gradually over time.
environment alone determines evolutionary adaptations.
species only become extinct because of localized catastrophes.
transitional species are less like to become fossils.
