Spatial isolation:
A)cuts off gene flow between groups
B)allows reproductive isolating mechanisms to develop
C)allows for the genetic reconstitution of the separated populations
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spatial isolation cuts off gene flow between groups, which may lead to the development of reproductive isolating mechanisms in the separated populations. Over time, the separated populations will also have separate evolutionary fates, leading to genetic differences that may result in the genetic reconstitution of the separated populations. Therefore, all of the above choices are correct.
