t elevatUsing species C as a reference, you find that there are more genetic differences between species A and species C than between species A and species B. Which of the statements would best reflect the mode of speciation in these mice?

Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original populations.

Explanation:

There are two types of speciation: allopatric and peripatric. Allopatric speciation occurs when the species of same population gets isolated that results in lack of gene flow. From the isolated population, new species are formed then it is known as the peripatric speciation. All these isolation of populations and formation of new species depends upon the initial or original group of species that was dispersed.
