New species arise as the result of two processes, geographic and reproductive isolation. Explain how these processes work together to produce new species.
What will be an ideal response?
Geographic isolation occurs when a segment of a population becomes separated from the rest of the population. Over time, this allows for an accumulation of mutations to occur in both populations. If environmental conditions differ between the populations, environmental pressures may select for different sets of mutations. As this selection of difference continues, it may result in the inability of the subpopulations to sexually reproduce. Once the subpopulations are reproductively isolated, they are considered to be separate species.
