Question

a founding population of lizards arrives on an island. which type of isolation would most likely result in this population becoming a new species?
o temporal
o geographical
o mechanical
o behavioral

Explanation:

The population of starfish is on an island, which is a geographically separated area from the mainland. Geographic isolation occurs when a population is separated by physical barriers (like islands), preventing gene flow with other populations. Over time, this isolation can lead to genetic divergence and the formation of a new species. Temporal isolation relates to different breeding times, mechanical to incompatible reproductive structures, and behavioral to different mating behaviors—none of these are indicated here.

Answer:

B. geographical
