________ can cause speciation when a population becomes separated from each other due to a river. The 2 populations evolve to become 2 different species.

• reproductive isolation

• temporal isolation

• geographical isolation

• sympatric isolation

________ can cause speciation when organisms in a population breed at different times of the year, thus never interacting with each other. The 2 populations evolve to become 2 different species.

• reproductive isolation

• temporal isolation

• geographical isolation

• sympatric isolation
