How did China's geography contribute to the country's ioslation?

China's geography significantly contributed to its isolation through natural barriers such as the Himalayas to the southwest, the Gobi Desert to the north, and extensive mountain ranges and plateaus throughout the region. These features made travel and communication difficult, limiting interactions with neighboring cultures. Additionally, the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean to the east further separated China from other civilizations, fostering a self-contained cultural and economic development. This isolation allowed for the growth of a unique Chinese identity and civilization, distinct from those of other regions.

What is reproductive isolation caused by?

Reproductive isolation can be caused by barriers that prevent individuals of different species from successfully interbreeding. These barriers can be prezygotic (before mating or fertilization) or postzygotic (after mating or fertilization) and may be due to differences in behavior, genetics, ecology, or geography.


What are results from reproductive isolation?

Reproductive isolation can lead to the formation of new species through the prevention of gene flow between populations. This can result in the development of unique genetic traits and adaptations in each isolated population. Over time, reproductive isolation can contribute to the biodiversity of an ecosystem.


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.
