उत्तर
- Every species survives in specific geographical conditions. The requirements of food and habitat, is specific for each species. Their reproductive ability and period is also different.
- Therefore, the individuals from one species cannot reproduce with individuals from other species.
- When they are separated by a distance or geographical barriers they are said to be isolated geographically.
- When they cannot reproduce with each other, they are said to be isolated reproductively.
- The ancestor species of both these subspecies may be the same but due to isolation over a very long time duration, there is genetic variation between the two. Therefore, the isolation leads to speciation.
