A population of animals is split in half by a river. Before speciation is
completed the two halves are rejoined when a drought causes the river to run
dry. How would this impact the two populations?
O
A
The two halves would be reproductively isolated.
O
B Speciation would still occur, because the two halves would be too
different genetically to interbreed.
O
G Individuals could now freely mate, and gene flow would increase.
O
R. Traits that had developed through mutation would still exist only
in one of the halves

Respuesta :

It would be G, or the third option. Because the populations have not been speciated yet, they can still be able to mate and produce viable offspring. The increase in genetic diversity that the two populations have gotten while being separate will increase gene flow and benefit both populations’ survival.

An impact of rejoining the two halves of animals before speciation is completed is that: C. individuals could now freely mate, and gene flow would increase.

What is speciation?

Speciation can be defined as an ecological and biological process through which new species of a living organism are formed, especially due to isolation of a part.

Based on genetics, an impact of rejoining the two halves of animals before the completion of speciation is that each of them can now freely mate, and gene flow between the species would increase.
