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

species evolve gradually over time.
environment alone determines evolutionary adaptations.
species only become extinct because of localized catastrophes.
