Gene flow describes the ________.

Selection that splits a population into two groups

• directional selection

• disruptive selection

• polygenic selection

• stabilizing selection

Speciation can occur as a result of geographic isolation because _________.

• members of a species can no longer find mates

• populations that live in different environments may be exposed to different selection pressures

• exchange of genes during recombination
