Question 6 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

Which of these could result in speciation from biogeographic isolation?

Answer
A
the isolation of two individuals of different species
B
the isolation of two populations of different species
C
the isolation of two populations of the same species
D
the isolation of two individuals of the same species

Explanation

Biogeographic isolation occurs when a physical barrier separates populations and prevents them from interbreeding. If the separated populations belong to the same species, they may evolve independently until they become distinct species. Therefore, isolation of two populations of the same species could result in speciation.
