The beetle pollinators of a particular plant are attracted to its flowers' bright orange color. The beetles not only pollinate the flowers, but they mate while inside the flowers. A mutant variant of the plant producing red flowers becomes more common with the passage of time. A particular variant of the beetle prefers the red flowers to the orange flowers. Over time, the two beetle variants diverge from each other to the point that interbreeding is no longer possible between them. What kind of speciation has occurred in this example, and what has driven it?





Question 27 options:


































sympatric speciation; habitat (niche) differentiation













sympatric speciation; allopolyploidy













allopatric speciation; behavioural isolation













allopatric speciation; ecological isolation













sympatric speciation; sexual selection
