Sympatric Speciation in Wheat

Description
In sympatric speciation, new species form within a home range of an existing species, in the absence of a physical barrier

Sympatric speciation can occur in a single generation when the chromosome number multiplies (polyploidy)

Example: Common bread wheat originated after related species hybridized, then the chromosome number of the hybrid offspring doubled
