This condition may be either geographic or reproductive?

This condition may refer to either geographic isolation, where populations are separated by physical barriers, or reproductive isolation, where individuals are unable to interbreed successfully. Geographic isolation can lead to reproductive isolation over time as populations differentiate in isolation.


What are two examples of species that evolved due to geographic isolation?

One example is the Galápagos finches, which evolved into different species on different islands due to geographic isolation. Another example is the lemurs of Madagascar, which evolved separately from other primates after being isolated on the island for millions of years.


When does geographic isolation occur?

Geographic isolation occurs when a physical barrier, such as a mountain range, river, or body of water, separates a population into two or more distinct groups. This isolation prevents the groups from interbreeding, leading to genetic divergence and potentially the formation of new species over time.


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


A population is divided through geographic isolation over several generations they lose the ability to interbreed how are these two populations classified?

These populations would be classified as different species. Geographic isolation has led to reproductive isolation, causing them to evolve independently and become unable to produce viable offspring together.

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.


Sympatric speciation specifically excludes?

Geographic isolation as a mechanism for reproductive isolation. In sympatric speciation, new species arise within the same geographic area without physical barriers separating populations. This process typically involves ecological, behavioral, or genetic factors leading to reproductive isolation within a single population.


Which increase speciation?

Geographic isolation Low geneflow.


What type of isolation mechanism was important in the formation of Galapagos finches species?

Geographic IsolationSpeciation in the Galápagos finches occurred by founding of new populations, geographic isolation, gene pool changes, reproductive isolation, and ecological competition.


What are the two main types of isolation?

That would be geographic isolation and reproductive isolation. Both could lead to speciation.
