उत्तर
Geographical isolation (Physical isolation):
- It occurs when an original population is divided into two or more groups by geographical barriers such as rivers, oceans, mountains, glaciers, etc.
- These barriers prevent interbreeding between isolated groups. The separated groups are exposed to different kinds of environmental factors and they acquired new traits by mutations.
- The separated populations develop distinct gene pools and do not interbreed. Thus, new species have been formed by geographical isolation. e.g. Darwin’s Finches.
