One of the important consequences of geographical isolation is:

  • A.Preventing speciation
  • B.Speciation through reproductive isolation
  • C.Random creation of new species
  • D.No change in the isolated fauna

Answer: B

Geographical isolation leads to speciation through reproductive isolation.

Once a barrier divides a population, the two halves accumulate different mutations and experience different selection. Given long enough they diverge so far that they can no longer interbreed even if brought together - allopatric speciation.
