List and describe the different types of genetic isolation?
geographic isolation- the physical separation of members of a population reproductive isolation- the inability of members of a population to successfully interbreed with members of another population of the same or related species information from MODERN BIOLOGY by HOLT, Rinehart and Winston
When studying evolution the term isolation means one?
D, Population becomes seperated from another population.
Speciation without geographic isolation is called what?
Sympatric Speciation develops within the range of the parent population. This type of speciation does not include geographical isolation, and can occur rapidly if a genetic change results in a barrier between the mutants and the parent population.
What process often begins by portion of a population become physically or geographically separated?
Speciation
Why do geographical isolation is not regarded as a reproductive isolating mechanism?
Geographical isolation is not a cause of speciation in an asexually reproducing organism because the population is self-pollinating and would be less prone to the factors which results from geographical isolation.

What is biological isolation?
Biological isolation occurs when an individual or in most cases a population of individuals do not have contact with other species that they are capable of breeding with or infecting. This process can be man made or natural. In man made we isolate organisms in a sterile environment such as a level 4 biology lab, special greenhouses, and on special farms. Natural isolation can occur when a population of organisms travel to islands from the mainland and no longer breed with organisms from the mainland. Occasionally natural disasters such as earthquakes, mud slides, etc can force a population into a small portion of its previous environment separating the population into different areas. These populations can then evolve separately.
Why is isolation important in evolution?
It is the reproductive isolation between populations that allows divergence between populations, and ultimately speciation, to occur. Often this reproductive isolation is the result of geographical isolation, for instance when part of a population migrates to new territories.
What is it called when different groups of a population cannot mate with each other?
Population isolation of some sort.
When studying evolution the term isolation means one?
D, Population becomes seperated from another population.
What is temporality?
isolation due to population groups reproducing at different times.
What is portion of a population that can represent the whole population?
None of the above
What is temporal isolation?
isolation due to population groups reproducing at different times.
Why does Geographic isolation occur?
It can be by geological means (i.e. earthquakes, floods, mountains and other other geographic barriers) or population dispersal. It can also be caused by human activity that splits a population, causing geographic isolation.
Focuses on separating the insurgency physically and psychologically from other segments of the population.?
Isolation

Isolation
What is the separation of a small group of individuals from the main population known as?
The separation of a small group of individuals from the main population is known as isolation or founder effect.
