It occurs when groups in a species become reproductively isolated and diverge. In allopatric speciation, groups from an ancestral population evolve into separate species due to a period of geographical separation.
What are other examples of speciation in the world?An example of speciation is the Galápagos finch. Different species of these birds live on different islands in the Galápagos archipelago, located in the Pacific Ocean off South America. The finches are isolated from one another by the ocean.
Which of the following best predicts the outcome of these lizards reproducing for many generations on the island?Which of the following best predicts the outcome of these lizards reproducing for many generations on the islands? The isolation prevents gene flow; thus, the lizards on different islands experience prezygotic isolation.
