What is the similarities between allopatric and sympatric speciation. What is the difference?
Both involve the creation of new species. Allopatric - geological barriers, Sympatric - issues with cell division or mutations.

Over time, scientists have noticed that babies that are born at an intermediate weight are more likely to survive than babies born either much smaller or much larger than average. This phenomena can be shown in a graph depicting
