Why does geographic isolation cause specilation?
It prevents the two populations from interbreeding - APEX
How does predation cause stability ecosystem?
it prevents populations from getting to high
The geographic isolation of two populations of a species tends to increase differences between their gene pools because it?
Prevents interbreeding, therefore allows the development of diverging traits without being balanced by mating with the other population.
What prevents leaves from drooping?
Adequate water intake prevents leaves from drooping.

What is a factor that prevents a population from growing?
Weather is a factor that prevents a population from increasing. Or the term for it is called Limiting Factor
How does predation cause stability ecosystem?
it prevents populations from getting to high
How does the presence of predators help keep an ecosystem stable?
The predators keep prey populations balanced.

How does removing standing water prevent the spread of malaria?
it prevents vectors from breeding
Why does geographic isolation cause speciation (Apex)?
it prevents gene flow between populations
Explain how isolation helps speciation?
Reproductive isolation prevents variations from spreading throughout the entire population. Since genetic variations basically occur randomly, the chances that the same variations will occur in both reproductively separated subpopulations are vanishingly slim. Thus, genetic divergence between both subpopulations will occur, and this may eventually lead to speciation. Isolation stops populations of the same species from interbreeding. This results in separate breeding among populations and genetic differences become more pronounced with each generation.

Prevents interbreeding, therefore allows the development of diverging traits without being balanced by mating with the other population.
What prevents speciation from occurring in sympatric populations?
Gene flow between populations can hinder the development of genetic differences necessary for speciation. Additionally, strong environmental pressures favoring specific traits in a population can limit genetic variation and prevent the emergence of distinct species. Lastly, hybridization between different groups can also counteract speciation in sympatric populations.
What do you think will happen if we breed a dog with a cat?
This can not happen. Nature prevents two different species from breeding with the other.
How do isolation and natural selection result in new species?
Isolation prevents mating between the populations and in time different mutations will accumulate in each population so much that they will no longer be able to mate. The inability to interbreed is one of the definitions of different species.
