Question

Explain why allopatric speciation would be less likely on an island close to a mainland than on a more isolated island.

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone here We have a question that says a low patrick speciation occurs when two populations of the same species become geographically isolated from each other, which of the following occurs during this process. A gene flow between the two populations is restricted because the species is geographically isolated. Gene flow between the two populations is restricted. B gene mutations occur and build up over time. This is correct because of these mutations that occur and build up over time, the two populations can no longer interbreed because they become their own species. So even if the barrier's removed, they can no longer interbreed. So d all choices are correct. Thank you for watching. Bye.
