The appearance of a fertile, polyploid individual within a population of diploid organisms is a possible source of a new species. If this individual is capable of reproducing to form a new population, scientists would consider this to be an example of a) allopatric speciation b) sympatric speciation c) polygenic inheritance d) genetic drift e) Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Answer

Answer: b) sympatric speciation
Explanation: Sympatric speciation occurs without geographic separation and can be driven by mechanisms like polyploidy, where a new species arises from a single population that remains in the same geographic area.
