biogeographic isolation
understanding isolation and speciation
use your understanding of evolution through isolation to answer the questions provided.
biogeographic isolation separates of a species through geographical and biological forces.
biogeographic isolation leads to e formation of a new species.
in order for speciation to occur, organisms can no longer interbreed. this is known as

Explanation:

1. Biogeographic isolation first splits a single species into distinct groups that do not interact. These groups are populations, not just individual organisms, since isolation acts on groups of the species.
2. Over time, this isolation drives the formation of new species as the separated groups evolve independently.
3. When populations can no longer interbreed and produce viable offspring, this reproductive barrier defines the completion of speciation.

Answer:

1. Biogeographic isolation separates populations of a species through geographical and biological forces.
2. Biogeographic isolation leads to the formation of a new species.
3. In order for speciation to occur, organisms can no longer interbreed. This is known as reproductive isolation
